Anybody using "Components Strong" with BRS 2-part?
Hey,
I have a good amount of BRS two part (Calcium Hydroxide & Soda Ash) that I use for my tank. I mix both solutions in gallon jugs. My question is, how much of each "Components Strong" should I mix with the BRS solutions? Has anybody done this before? Thank you for your help!

We recommend to dose Full method: Calcium, Magnesium, KH Buffer and Reef Mineral Salt.
You can use microelements only from separate bottles: http://aquaforest.eu/en/product/componenta/ http://aquaforest.eu/en/product/componentb/ http://aquaforest.eu/en/product/component-c/ |

Thank you. I did some math and turns out your Ca, Alk are half the concentration of BRS. It takes twice as much Aquaforest solution than BRS to achieve the same increment.
I went ahead and added "Components Strong" at the adjusted ratio and purchased the Mineral Salt separately. I really wanted to automate as much as possible without having to add more dosing pumps.
