All-For-Reef Powder Mixing

[Guzman333]

Alright, so I used the mixing powder but I’m thinking I got the ratio wrong or something because I am using too much to keep my Alk steady in this small of a tank.

is there a way I can test the concentration of the all for reef I mixed?

Ok if I did my math right it looks like if you add 1ml to a litre of water it should raise dkh by about 5.6. Not exactly sure if you could test it in ro as it supposedly needs bacteria to work. But maybe pull out a litre of tank water, test what it’s at and then add 1ml and test again after however long it takes for AFR to work (about 3 days I think?)

I might be wrong though so hopefully someone else can chime in

Checking your dkh when using all for reef isn't always the best way to go as the alk in all for reef is different. The best way to do it is to go off of your Calcium

Found my best option is to empty the container of the powder, and compare it to the 1600g of initial weight.
