Could it mix with AFR in a reservoir?

We discuss that in the thread. I think you probably cannot mix ammonium bicarbonate into it without risking calcium carbonate precipitation. You can add ammonium chloride, but that recipe depletes alk.

Copy. I’ll search for that thread and see what people are doing. I just don’t know if I trust my doser enough.

Thank you Sir.

For anything except a very small daily dose, you’ll want to spread it out, making a dosing pump very useful.

Incredibly insightful and worth the read. For a new reef hobbyist, there is incredible value in taking the time to read this article and understand the role ammonia plays in our aquariums. A great share! Thank you.

best updated cycling article I've seen. appreciated seeing non-standard ways to cycle, skip cycling, this is very reflective of today's marine setups. 10/10

When compared to older cycling articles that seem to rehash the same info, this has tons of new inclusions. I haven't seen any better cycling article.
