Best way to buy fluoride?

[WhatCouldGoWrong71]

I l’ve done Moonshiners in the past, now that I have a couple months with my new tank (consolidated my mature tanks into one larger system) I’m getting back in the mix. Considering my new tanks is much much larger I underestimated how much of some stuff I will need, specifically fluoride. Is there a better value than the $20 for 500ml that Andre sells? I’d buy multiple gallons at a time if I could.

Here are some I found.

I recommend food grade or acs reagent grade sodium fluoride.

A one ounce bottle of Loudwolf sodium fluoride is enough to make 12.6 liters of 1000 ppm fluoride solution. or for 3 dollars more you can get the 4 oz bottle and make 13 gallons

Does anyone have a Canadian source for sodium fluoride?

I’m, maybe I am mixing this wrong, which means I have been mixing it wrong for 6-7 months. I mix 10 grams to 1 L. I only dose 150 mil a day though into 480g. My monthly ICP still has me add some fluoride when I create my Captiv8 solution to put on a Doser.

You can mix to different concentrations what I posted was a 1000ppm solution that matches the concentration of the RMS solution

ALRIGHT
so u wanna go to your dentist
ask them for a tub of fluoride(tell them for your coral)
they will then look at you confused, they are now confused and you will use that to your advantage. push them enough to just confuse them, run to their storage room, grab fluoride and run out saying its for your coral

next time you go back, give them like 20$, and show them how much ur coral grew and how much better it is cause they gave u the fluoride :D

Has RMS been tested?

So when I was on RMS (granted coral continues to grow) I was going through 3 - 500mil of RMS Fluoride monthly. I started mixing my own. So for the 1000ppm is 2.22 g per (28g/12.6 L). So I am now doing 3L a month at 10g/L which would be the equivalent of 12L of RMS or 24 500MIL bottles. That feels odd. As, my monthly ICP still has me putting some Captiv8 fluoride in my system (300mil).

I have read Kalk makes fluoride precipitate, if that is true, then I wonder if I should not dose both at the same time? But, I know it will also precipitate the fluoride in the water column.

So Andre is selling 1.1g of fluoride and Rodi water for $19.99?

I’m going to do another startup. But this venture will only have 1 sku.

Seems like a ton of flouride. I mix the loudwolf at 2.2 grams per 500ml rodi and dose 17 ml a day in a heavy acro 300 gallon...its actually 265ish gallons after displacement. Could be something to thr kalk causing to to precipitate?

I have no idea if is has been tested but the math from the RMS calculator says it is 1000 ppm. I have no idea what Andre uses for a fluoride source or solvent just that the solution is 1000ppm Fluoride.

Oh ok, claimed solution is 1000ppm.

Dosing both is fine. Putting one into the other may not be.

If it is not 1000 ppm the math in the RMS spreadsheet is wrong.
