Question on Dosing Pump

[Phelipe's Ocean]

Quick question I was wondering can you dilute Ca, Mg, and Alk in water? The dosing pump is one ml accuracy so instead of dosing 1 ml 10x a day I wanted to dose 1ml 20x a day diluted %50. Will this work or will it ruin the supplements/separate from water?

Unsure of the answer but why would you want to dilute? Does it keep the lines clearer or clogged free?

I have read some reefer's doing it with RO/DI water.
Their dose is so small, that they want to make an bigger one time dose, but not 20 doses.

Ok I’ll give it a shot with the Red Sea supplements, thanks.

I dose BRS two part. You dissolve dry soda ash in RODI to make ALK and you dissolve in RODI dry CaCl to make the calcium component. So far I am dosing by hand and I routinely dilute ALK in RODI before tossing it into the tank to reduce the snow ball effect. A solution is a solution. Diluting ten fold should be good.
