Nitrate reading conversion

[cmbaile1]

I've just gotten a 90G tank and am cycling it. I'm testing regularly and am charting it on some software but the software askes for ppm and my test kit measures Nitrites in mb/l. Does anyone have a magic formula to convert mb/l to ppm? Thanks!!

what does mb/l mean? mb? Are you sure it's mb not mg?

cmbaile, mg/l = ppm

 

[cmbaile1]

You are absolutely right! It is mb/l. I guess I've been thinking computer for too long, got mb on the brain!

My lfs did a water test for me and said my nitrites were at 5+ ppm and my test at home was about 0.5 mg/l. Is it just a difference in terminalogy?

ppm = parts per million, which is exatly same, like reg2k2 wrote, mg/l.
