In this hobby we really do not need to convert ppm to mg / l. Technically speaking, however.....

ppm x Density = mg/ l.

So, if we had Calcium really at 400 ppm and the Salinity was 35 ppt / 1.026 Sg @ 25 C, the Density is 1.023. So, 400 x 1.023 = 409 mg / l



For Alk conversations, 1 meq / l = 2.8 dKh = 50 ppm. It is just easier to go here

Thanks Boomer

I seem to be missing the secret decoder ring with my new LaMotte Alk test kit and didn't know what to do with my 176 reading ... and now I do!
