Redsea Part A Powder dKh?

[Neil Cohen]

Consumption is 1.8 dkh per day for 100g total volume. I currently dose 20 ml of Redsea stock solution. According to my calculations, I would need 128 ml of Randy’s soda ash recipe for the same dKh consumption.

Can you verify my math before I kill everything due to a decimal point?

Try this but make sure you choose the Red Sea powder: http://reef.diesyst.com/chemcalc/chemcalc.html

Thanks. That’s is what I used to come up with the calculation. I currently dose 20 ml of stock solution (5 x 4ml/day). To get the same dkh increase, I need . And that Randy’s recipe 1 would take 128.5 ml for the same effect. But then I worry that the amount is much higher, that I am miscalculati and worry about frying my corals.

Just hoping for a second, or third, set of eyes. Still plan to change slowly, for safety and for a slow ph boost.

So far, so good.

My Redsea B was dosing 4ml x 5, so I set the other channel on the doser to dose the Soda Ash solution at the same intervals, 25 ml x 5.

In part to use up my supply of B powder and part to not have any big spike in ph, I am doing 3 doses of Redsea and 2 of the soda ash. Kh stayed spot on. Will monitor for a few days and report back.

Next question, do I spread the dose out of 24 hours, night hours, day hours? Or am I over thinking my quest for stability?
