So i have purchased a powder form of calcium chloride dihydrate for calcium and sodium bicarbonate for alkalinity
I want to mix these so i have EQUAL parts of dosing meaning i can dose equal amounts and keep the levels stable
On the mixing instructions it says for calcium chloride that i need to add 367g to 1litre of ro water, this would allow 10ml of the solution added to 100litres of water to increase calcium by 10mg/l
For the sodium bicarbonate it says to add 60g to 1litre of water and this would allow 50ml of solutionn added to 100 litres of water would increase alk by 1dkh
Below is instructions for sodium bicarbonate
Below is instructions for calcium chloride dihydrate
My question is
If i follow the instructions will i get equal parts for calc and alk? Or should i ignore the instructions and mix up something like 100g of powder for each to make up an equal parts solution?
Thank you in advance
