I have no ammonia tests that have a ppm...only mg/l

Is there a difference in those readings?

Boy I take up alot of space...

Oh well....tiss the ways of a man who is....persistant.

For our purposes they are the same and are interchangable.

NO NO NO NO NO! slap slap slap, I don't mean to be rude but__there is a big differents in ppm,and mg/l. ppm=parts per a million. mg/l= milli-gram per a liter.

No $h1t Sherlock. The point was the ammonia reading needs to be 0. It doesn't matter in its measured in ppm, mg/l or monkeys in a barrel.:D

other than how they are written they are exactly the same thing as Steve and Chris:) just pointed out.


A liter of water weighs 1000 grams.

A milligram is one thousandth of a gram or 0.001 gram.

So one milligram, or 0.001 gram, divided by one liter, or 1000 grams, is the same as 1/1,000,000 which is the definition of part per million......

thank you for clearing that up, I was told that 1ppm and 1mg/l where different.
