Ready to ditch Instant ocean!

Here is my recipe for perfect acropora/SPS IO.

44 gallon brute filled with COLD RO water. Add 50g bag of IO and two TBSP of dowflake. Mix. Add 20mls of Muriatic Acid. Heat and let mix for another few days. Comes out like 1.026, 7.0 alk and 425 calcium.
That acid lowers the alk right
 
The key is mixing in cold or room temp water... for all salts plus a small pump that is not a heat generating monster.

I use fritz blue box. It has the most sane specs for me.
