Aquatic alchemy: Have you done any DIY chemistry for your reef?
There are a wide range of pre-packaged chemical additives available for reef tanks, but there is also the option for DIY chemistry. Sometimes reef keepers turn to DIY chemistry because of the lack of the specific product, sometimes because of cost, and sometimes because of the desire to experiment. This approach to chemistry may be for more common items like DIY two-part or DIY salinity calibration or for more unique items like DIY additives of boron, molybdenum, cobalt, and zinc. Have you done any DIY chemistry for your reef? Please tell us about your experience with DIY chemistry for your reef in the discussion thread that follows.
Pro Tip: Check out the R2R DIY chemistry archive for a lot of information on DIY additives and more. The R2R reef chemistry section is a great place to learn and ask questions from some of the top experts in the field!
