What is ppm? Is it the number of drops?

Thank you for responding

k..thnx. But how do I mesure "x"ppm into a tank?

you use a test kit designed for whatever you are looking to measure (calcium, ammonia, etc). I would check out the stickies in the new to hobby section and the water chemistry section. On the main page you can get to the Reefkeeping articles too.

Are you looking for conversions ?? PPM / DKH ?

what I want to do is, I read about hydrogen peroxide for removing ich. It says with a concentration of 75ppm. Wanting to give it a try. Has anyone tried this? I just want to make sure I put enough or not to much.
