smcooler,

are you saying that his saltmix has no calcium and that you mix it seperately everytime you make saltwater

 

[JRod]

Yes. The calcium comes in another packet that you add.

This way the calcium has not settled into the bottom of the bag or container during shipment. Same amount in each batch you make.

the ca. seperate from the base salt mix that is why it desloves so good, this way all levals are more stable like the dkh at 10 mg 1350 and when you add the ca to the tank slowly 450.

started useing the media from esv in the ca. reactor, wow what a difference. Cut way back on the 2-part. Stuff was a great deal to like 36 bucks for 50lbs.

Hey stan you using anything in your calcium reactor for magnesium ?

 

[smcooler]

Nick no im useing the 2-part mag from get-tanked. mg. is 1380.

Try Using Kalkwasser As Your Daily Evaporation Replenishment And You Will Need Less Of Your 2 Part Additive. Cheaper And In My Opinion More Available Calcium To Your Stonys And Your Kh Will Riseto Over 10 If Your Fish Bioload Is Not Too High
