ALKALINITY - solid - dosing pump

potatocouch · 11/13/2016, 03:56 AM

I'm using reef foundation B and there's always solid thing at the bottom of this bottle.

From what I've understood, it is common to have solid stuff at any solution which will increase Alk in your tank.

I've always shake my bottle before dosing, which I've always done manually to date.

I since have purchased a dosing pump, which I will be using to dose reef foundation B.

With dosing pump, it should be seamless process, but obviously the dosing pump will not do the "SHAKE" bottle for you ... is this an issue?

Ive always diluted my supplements to make it "easier" to dose. Should help get everything dissolved. Cut it about 50:50 with RODI and dose twice as much of that. If it still doesn't dissolve everything, you can add a little vinegar to it.
