   Ok, I used to calculate all of this kind of stuff in the past but figure someone might know the answer right off the bat.
   
   So I'm trying to calculate how often I need my to refill my alk and calc reservoirs based on the amount I'm dosing just to have a basic outline for when I should expect it to be empty.
   
   Let's say I have a gallon jug that's dosing 10ml every hour.
   
   How long before I'd need to refill it?

   Based on what I calculated it would be 15 days. It's 3785 ml to 1 gallon so that would be just over 15 days before being empty.

   A gallon is 3785mL. Divide by your ml/Hr to get your Hrs and then by 24 to get days, so 15.7ish days

   1 gal = 3,785.41 ml
   3,785.21ml / 10 ml per hour = 378.541 hours OR 15.77 days
