Thx. Whats more important .1 at 1200 grams, or .001 at 50grams,200grams ect?

How many grams would a fistfull of chaeto be about?

1,000 grams = 2.2 lbs. A std aspirin or motrin tablet may be like 200-250 mg or .200 - .250 grams. Some of Randy's DIY's are to .1 grams, the rest are higher in grams.

So .1 at 1200 grams, as 1/2 of a aspirin is .1 grams and 1200 grams is 2.64 lbs, which is much more than a fistfull of chaeto
