Hey Randy, hoping for a little insight here. I’ve tried to contact Endich multiple times without a response. Bobby made a good point that I should run it by you.

I use dosing pumps to bring copper up in my qt tanks slow and steady. It’s always been easiest to dilute the required amount into a gallon of water. Up until now I’ve just used new saltwater since I know it’s fine but I had abdominal surgery last month that had some significant complications and it’s been difficult for me to do regular water changes on my tanks. I scored a 6 head masterflex cartridge setup and want to use it for an awc setup for both qt tanks. 3 heads each tank, with the 3rd adding the appropriate amount of copper in ratio to the wc.

I need to dilute copper power 100:1 to get the proper dosing ratio.

Are there any concerns with diluting the saltwater version of copper power with RODI? At first glance I would think not, but there is certainly stuff at play that gives me pause for concern.

Thanks for any input, I appreciate it.
