[Reef257]

Hi all
Hope everyone doing good .

I was dosing red sea alkalinity. There were some undisolved white particles.
I was all the fish doing toward It some wat it .

Not sure if this will kill the fishs

They should be fine.
Try heating up your bottle to get all the chunks dissolved and into solution before dosing next time.
you can put the bottle in a bucket of warm water with a heater if necessary to get everything fully dissolved.

Thank you for advice . I wish I knew this Before .I would do it that way

2 part solutions tend to gunk up if allowed to get cold.... heating them up usually gets things fully dissolved again.

If this is going to be an issue, you can also dilute them with RODI and increase your dosage. Diluted 2-parts also stay in solution easier.

If you have a sump you might want to dose into the sump. That way you aren’t dumping things directly into the tank where they could affect fish and corals.
