For alkalinity, 1 meq/L = 2.8 dKH = 50 ppm calcium carbonate equivalents
These articles have more: The Units of Measure of Reefkeeping http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-08/rhf/index.php What is Alkalinity http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issu.../chemistry.htm FWIW, I answer questions in this forum from oldest to newest. So bumping them pushes them back in the queue.
