Hi guys, I'm in the final stages of cycling my tank but have recently discovered the Ammonia Calculator on the forums and tried calculating how much ammonia I should be adding on these final days.
I wanted to get the initial Dose, and put in the following parameters:

and it's saying my initial dose should have been 1.44 ml. Is that correct? 1.44 milliliters seems so low. Especially considering I have decorations, gravel, plants, so the total volume is probably closer to 115 liters, or less.

The ammonia I'm using says it's 25% (35,06 g/mol) if that helps.
 
The calculation is correct.

That's a high amount of ammonium hydroxide, though...what kind of ammonia are you using?

The household stuff is usually around 10%

It's a local product that I got at a hardware store, it was recommended to me by a friend who was also cycling a tank recently and used it. The bottle says it's for technical purposes, etching and cleaning.
Thank you for confirming the calculation!
