Hondace Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 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?

SRC Member Tanzy Posted January 4, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 4, 2004 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. Quote Warning: Heavy handed moderator in operation.

SRC Member Tanzy Posted January 9, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 9, 2004 But calcium is the only one that needs to be dripped. The rest can be dumped into the tank individually.

Achilles Tang Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
