Would it work to mix an amino that doesn't need to be refrigerated in with kalkwasser and dosed over several days for top off? Specifically Acropower.
Thanks,
Todd
 
I would be concerned about racimization of the amino acid. That is changing what might be pure L- amino acid to a 50/50 mix of L- and D-. Meaning, you might only have 50% of what you add as bio available. Worst case is that there could be some peptide formation. However, I would expect bacteria or enzymes in the tank might reverse that.
