Can mix idoide,strontium,trace element

[Hondace]

Hihi,

I would like to know if I can mix all the additives (idoide, strontium, trace elements, calcium) together in 1 DIY drip.

Currently, I have a few & could like to combine them together as it looks messy & also troublesome having so many drips.

Please advise what can be mixed together & what can't be combined?

I won't recommend it as it can cause some ions to be precipitated. If you really need to then just do it since trace element supplement is just water and iodides won't precipitate strontium but no way trying to mix calcium with the above mentioned. Calcium and hydroxide can precipitate a lot of things.

You probably don't even need to drip all these stuff in the first place.

i've tried it b4. mix strotium, iodide, trace element, magnesium, kalk solution in my dripper and let it drip. results, u will get very thick and murky precipitate. dunno what it will do to ur tank. so i've stopped doing that.

thanks. rite now I have combine the rest except calcium. let's see wat happens.

But calcium is the only one that needs to be dripped. The rest can be dumped into the tank individually.

Well, technically, I think its possible.

I mean, there are bottled trace elements sold, and they must have gotten the mixture right coz you don't see a funny pasty mixture coming out.

I don't think Calcium is included in any trace element mix though.
