Hi all. Been using Reef Code A and B (the liquid) for a few months now. But I find purchasing a couple of bottles every few weeks becoming a bit expensive and tedious.
I was looking to moving towards Reef Code A-P (and B-P). But looking at the instructions,
For Reef Code A
Each ml of Brightwell Aquatics Reef Cōde A will increase the concentration of calcium (“[Ca2+]”) in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by approximately 16 ppm
For Reef Code A-P
Create a stock solution by dissolving 35 grams of Reef Code A-P in 8-fl. oz. of purified fresh water; each ml of the solution will increase the calcium concentration (“[Ca2+]”) in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by ~10 ppm
Seems like the instructions to dissolve the powder results in a weaker solution, compared to the bottled liquid version.
Anyone know why this is?
Can I increase the amount of powder used in order to make it the same strength? ie, instead of using 35 grams, I would use 35 x 1.6 = 56 grams?
