Hi there been using this for about a month now and running into some problems I'm sure it's because how I'm mixing this as my dosing is well out. I'm only mixing this up in 1L batch at a time using the 500ml bottles. Tank size 170L - rock and sand so about 140L.
I mixing this up to 950ml of ro water to 50g powder and 950ml to 50ml bottles 2&3
not my alk im dosing is 16ml per day alk is 8.3dkh and my ca 395 mg 1200 dosing 80ml per day this is big time out what ati says it should be within 20%. so this is well out. This has to be how it is being mixed as it can't be anything else. can someone help me with the correct mix please?

should my mixing be 75g per litre for alk
and 100ml for 2&3 bottles?

Just an update on this problem I had. It was because I was mixing this wrong, 419g of bottle #1 should have been 83.8g to a litre and bottles 2#and 3# was 100ml to a litre. this was why my dosing was well out. just to note the bottle size was 419g 1# and 500ml of 2# & 3# suited for 5L of ro water.

Reduce the solution you are using for mix, which will lower the numbers you are currently at.
