Mixing elements

[reeferpat137]

So recently with my 13.5 evo i had alk drop from 8 to 7. Nothing new has been added, all parameters were spot on. The occasional water change would bring the alk up, but it would drop soon after. And bumping up the dosage of AFR didnt do much, and i dont wanna throw off the other parameters.... so i purchased Balling Part B, mixed it and put it on a doser. Currently im dosing 22.5ml of AFR and 8ml of Balling B.... My question is, would it be possible to mix AFR with Balling B? Seeing as they should be the same components i dont see why not.

Without a complete chemical list, I couldn't say.

They are not the same components and this would be a mess of calcium carboante precipitation, with calcium from the AFR and carbonate/bicarbonate from the Balling Part B.
