Erm...first and foremost, if that 30L tank is your actual fish tank, I don't think you should add the PP directly in! You'll kill all your BB in the filters
PP baths are not meant for long exposure time, so beside getting the dosage right, you should find out the exposure time as well.
Without sensitive weighing equipment, your only way is to use a large volume of water to dilute a dose of the smallest amount you can weigh with relative accuracy. ie. do serial dilution.
Eg, 2mg is 0.002g. Take 20g and dilute into 1litre of water. Take out 100ml of the concentrated PP solution and dilute in 900ml of water. Now you have 2g/litre.
Take out 100ml of the concentrated PP solution and dilute in 900ml of water again.
Now you have 0.2g or 200mg/litre.
Repeat until you get 0.002g/litre.
Note: The more times you do the dilution, the more accurate it is. If you simply take 1ml of the 20g/litre solution and dilute that with 999ml of water to get 0.02g/L, you may end up with a large margin of error since even a small drop of the solution contains alot of PP relative to your desired working strength solution.
Depends on how precise you want, you can vary the number of dilutions but generally, 10 times dilution is what I suggest.
