Formula help
Ok this is simple but I don’t want to mess it up. So I started the triton method. If u don’t know it basically it has 4 stage dosing 1,2,3a,3b everything has to be dosed evenly.u can mix 3a and 3b together to eliminate the need to have. 4th dosing pump. That is what I did. So 3 has to be dosed double the amount of 1 and 2 if 3a and 3b are mixed together to make 3 I’m calling it.
This product is very strong andbecuase of this even on my 350 gal Tank I only need to dose 26.5 ml of 1 and 2 and since 3a and 3b are mixed together I have to dose 53ml of 3 each day. Ok so my Doser LiterMeter 3 has trouble dosing suck a small amount so I added rodi to double the volume of 1 and 2 so this was easy just double my dose of 1 and 2 from 26.5ml to 53 ml So 3a and 3b are mixed together that total is 2000ml so I planed to add another 2000ml to 3 so it would be easy to calculate dosing but after adding 1000ml of rodi I realized another 1000 ml won’t fit in my dosing container. So here is where I want to make sure my math is correct. Currently I have the littlermetter 3 set to dose 1 and 2 at 60ml I believe my multiple to calculate 3 is 1.5 of what ever I am dosing for 1 and 2 is that correct? So 3 should be 90ml to equal same amount of 1 and 2 correct. Hope this was all easy to follow

If I understand what you're saying, that math is correct. If the 3a and 3b solutions were diluted with the full 2000 ml, you'd need to use twice as much, so with only 1000 ml dilution, you need to use only 1.5x.

Thx that’s what I though I just didn’t want a simple error to cost me a big mistake so wanted to verify.
Thx for response
