Math isn’t a strong point so would appreciate some help. I’m dosing lanthanum and the recommended dosage reduces po4 by 1ppm and the tanks po4 is 0.16. Would that theoretically drop it to 0.06 or should I go back to school?

It depends on your tank volumeI’m not doing the recommended dosage, just asking if my understanding of the reduction with that dosage is correct
You need to lay out tank volume and the instructions for the product/math that got you there. Otherwise we can't check your work.Math isn’t a strong point so would appreciate some help.

No. See my prior comment. 1PPM does not equal 0.1PPM.Sorry I should have said I already worked out the recommended dosage to reduce it by 1ppm for my tank is 20ml. I’m just asking if 1ppm reduction will theoretically reduce my po4 from 0.16 to 0.06.
Exactly 1ppm is 10x more then .1ppmNo. See my prior comment. 1PPM does not equal 0.1PPM.
0.16 ppm - 1 ppm = - 0.84 ppm which is likely to be 0 ppm.Sorry I should have said I already worked out the recommended dosage to reduce it by 1ppm for my tank is 20ml. I’m just asking if 1ppm reduction will theoretically reduce my po4 from 0.16 to 0.06.
No problem. We are all challenged about some aspect of this hobby.Hell this is embarrassing. Thank you, just as well I asked first
