Those are some high-end spoons you use. I spend all my money on coral so have to use the Dixie plastic spoons

Magnetic Stirrer for 2.1 Doser

Perfect for those additives that like to settle between dosings. Additives like amino acids, carbohydrates, liquid vitamins, and more should be mixed very well before being dosed into your aquarium. GHL's Magnetic Stirrer is the perfect device to add to your GHL 2.1 Doser. You can set it to mix...

p
For GHL stirrer you need GLH doser, but there must be plenty other options on Amazon.

Mc flurries anyone?

There is no reason to regularly mix up two part solutions. Some may precipitate if they get cold, but generally are stable and if you have issues, just dilute them a bit more.

Is your sodium carbonate recipe like kalkwasser in the sense that only what is needed will dissolve into 1 gallon of water?

I get one gallon pre-measured packets from brs and if I don't spill any and rinse out the packet into my gallon sometimes "extra" sodium carbonate will settle into the bottom of my 2 gallon resivor.

I was wondering if they add a pinch to much to the package for "spillage" and everything that is needed is still in solution. I usually empty the container after a few fill ups to remove what has settled.

Is this the case or am I not mixing enough and the solution is not to its full potential? Or does it require occasional mixing?

Sorry I seen this thread and started thinking.

No two part is designed to be at saturation.

Mine is designed to be below saturation at room temperature to make it easier to dissolve and stay in solution.

Any small amount of undissolved solids might be impurities. I’d just ignore it.
