KH Vs Mg & CA shld dose apart at least 1 hrs..

[dnsfpl]

you mean ca & mg can dose together

but kh should dose at least 1 hour apart?

thanks

NaHCO3 with 1l of distilled water(left bottle)

CaCl with 1l of distilled water(mid bottle)

MgCl2 with 1l of distilled water(right bottle)

Yes, same to our daily supplement or Vitamin.. some CA mixes with MG.. Shld be ok... But I prefer CA first than MG and also take after food.. So that our body able to absorb more and better.. samething to other live creature... You can dose after feeding.. Hihi.. Just my tot...

remember to drill one more hole on cap or top of bottle to prevent bottle squeeze due to vacuum effects.. Cheers..

wait...i dont understand why would CA and MG mix together?...shouldnt add CA and Kh solution together...Kh is basically carbonates and bicarbonates. If u add to fast, the CA ions will combine with the carbonate or bicarbonate ions.

noted but i have no choice

my dosing pump only allows me to set hour interval

[Zoa guy]

just remember dont overdose either...if u overdose CA, u get low KH if u overdose KH...the solution should be alright...when u finish dosing just give the bottle a rinse or use a new one...

[dnsfpl]

thanks for the info

no prob...for even more info, the book 'marine chemistry' is really good. Explains the use of the elements required in the reef tank.

Bro... Yr above question is CA & MG mix or CA & kh mix??? I guess shld be CA & MG.. Cause CA & kh looks ok...

Pls refer to below Seachem Calcium advantage mixtures which contains calcium from range 335mg to 347mg. And Magnesium min 17mg, above volume calculated over 1g...

The fundamental same as our mankind daily supplement.. But the optimum way of consuming.. difference pharmacy has their own philosophy.. But fundamentally they can mix...Cheers..
