BORAKS how ?

[DavidFluo]

hey, I want to increase the boron level in a 1000 liter aquarium

I would like to increase the level by 1 mg/liter

will anyone help?

Sure. There is a diy recipe thread at the top of this forum, and in that thread is this recipe:

0.88 grams of borax (sodium borate 10H2O ) increases the boron concentration in 100 liters of water by 1 ppm.

Post your DIY additives here!

With the popularity of the Triton method and ICP testing gaining steam, a thread containing DIY elemental supplements would be very helpful. Commercial supplements are very expensive and many elements can be sourced cheaply via Amazon, eBay, etc. Examples include fergon pills, potassium...

Big Thanks Randy,
ICP tests showed that Bromine levels were also too low

(the level in my aquarium is 46) and the suggested ICP is 56-74

do you have an idea how to change it?

The same thread above has bromide recipes.

Hej Randy, jeszcze raz dziękuję.


Znalazłem przepis, że

bromek sodu składa się w 77,7% z bromku. Z
50 gramów w 1 l ---> 38 850 mg/l = 38,85 mg/ml
Dodać 10 ml
(389 mg Br-) do pojemności zbiornika 100 l, a bromek wzrośnie o 3,9 mg/l.



Dobrze rozumiem, że aby podnieść około 20 mg/l w 1000 litrów
potrzebuję 25 gram proszku? OKEJ, liczę to?

I understand correctly that to raise about 20 mg/l in 1000 liters
do I need 25 grams of powder? OK, do I count it?

Yes

I do not recommend dosing lithium. It has no known utility in any known organism.

If you still want to dose it, I'd use lithium chloride.
