Is my dosing math correct?

[Gribbles]

Total water volume: 90gallons
Volume of solution: 1000ml
Volume of individual dose: 5ml
Ingredient: Monosodium Phosphate, .25tsp

That should raise my phosphate about .015ppm, yes?

I'm using the calculator from

James' Planted Tank - Dosing Calculator

www.theplantedtank.co.uk

With potassium phosphate, taking 77% of the result from that calculator (I believe I've read Dr. RHF say to do that)

Why not keep it simple and just feed some pellet food to your fish and reef roids to your corals once a week to raise phosphate?

 

[Gribbles]

I do both of those things currently. Probably could feed reef roids more often.

My phosphates are near zero but my nitrates are high. I carbon dose and want to keep my phosphate detectable without adding nitrate

I had to dose neophos for several months. With your volume slightly more then mine, 10ml daily would suffice easily.

Math is good. I get 0.017 before correction. Rounding errors are reduced by using 9 gallons and multiply the amount needed 10x.
