All-For-Reef: Enough iodine?

[dburnsworth]

1600 g powder container is $74 US dollar pre tax and shipping. It makes 10 liters.

Rough prices on the DIY parts:
Carbo-calcium powder 700g $23, 1400g $36
Bio-magnesium $18
TM Trace A 500ml $24, 1000ml $35
TM Trace K 500ml $25, 1000ml $35

When I was using the DIY parts I don't remember how long they lasted or how many liters they made up. I apologize so I can't compare directly. It has been a while. The recipe is 140g Carbo Calcium powder, 12g Bio magnesium, 100 ml Trace A, and 100 ml Trace K if I remember correctly.

I'd have to go back and find the DIY recipe thread here that someone posted thanking BRS, Zack as I think someone did the math. In any case I am not challenging you so please don't take it that way. I was just under the impression that $75 bucks for 10 liters that the powder container mixes up is the cheapest. There is a 5 gallon bucket I heard that is available but never seen it for sale. That may be the best price.

Note I'm only dosing 80 ml / day on my 210 mixed.

Yes…you are correct on those prices/yields. I thought at some point DIY was cheaper, maybe that was before the powder came out? Thanks for verifying this.
