Ammonium bicarb + AFR in one container?

[ReeferTCG]

Hello,

Wanted to ask the experts if I could mix my ammonium bicarbonate solution with my All for reef to dose in one pump? I am very short on space

My concern is that i think AFR has a bacterial component, unsure if the ammonium bicarb would make it loose alk potency.

Personally I wouldn’t. I’ve asked about adding extra A- and K+ to boost the traces and have been told that wouldn’t be a good idea.

No, the bicarbonate will precipitate with the calcium in AFR.

You could use ammonium chloride if you want.
