Copper Power Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Copper Power Dosing (CPD) is:

\[ CPD = \frac{S}{1.695} \times (DCP - CCP) \]

Where:

(CPD) is the Copper Power Dosing (mL of copper dosed)
(S) is the aquarium size (gallons)
(CCP) is the current copper power level (PPM)
(DCP) is the desired copper power level (PPM)

What is Copper Power Dosing?

Copper Power Dosing refers to the amount of copper that needs to be added to an aquarium to achieve a desired copper concentration. This is important for maintaining the health of aquatic life and ensuring the proper functioning of the aquarium ecosystem.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Aquarium Size ((S)) = 50 gallons
Current Copper Power Level ((CCP)) = 0.5 PPM
Desired Copper Power Level ((DCP)) = 1.0 PPM

Using the formula:

\[ CPD = \frac{50}{1.695} \times (1.0 - 0.5) \approx 14.75 \]

The Copper Power Dosing ((CPD)) is approximately 14.75 mL.
