Liveaquaria dry supplements

[madlos123]

Does anyone have instructions on how many cups/ grams of Liveaquaria Dry Soda Ash to make 1 gallon liquid mix comparable to BRS dry Soda Ash?
And also the calcium chloride

Or a calculator on a website?

Thanks

Directions & Dosage
Do not add LiveAquaria® Professional Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate) directly to your aquarium water. Create a solution at the prescribed dosage detailed below. Always test alkalinity levels prior to use. Alkalinity levels found in natural seawater is between 7-12 dKH. Due to the sensitivity of marine organisms, it is not recommended to raise alkalinity by more than 1 dKH (0.36 meq/l) per 24 hours.

DOSAGE: Add one teaspoon (5 grams) per 65 gallons to raise alkalinity by approximately 1 dKH. Dissolve appropriate amount in RO/DI water, slowly add to a high flow area, ideally into a sump. Monitor pH while dosing. Avoid immediate impact of pH change to more than +/- 0.2. Re-test and repeat dose until desired level is reached.

My recipe in the article below is what BRS uses. You can make the recipe using 594 grams of baking soda that you bake, or 375 gams of sodium carbonate (soda ash) per gallon of fresh water/
