DIY All-for-Reef [not dissolving]

[DarfrogDojo]

Anyone else having trouble getting the Calcium componet of DIY All-for-Reef to dissolve. I've tried everything; stirring slow, mechanical stirrer, warm water, boiling water, etc.
I was able to make my first batch with no problem, even tho I used a little less, given that I didn't zero the scale.

Any suggestions?

Keep shaking, it takes forever. I was shaking non stop for about 30 minutes.

That's crazy. I only bought this because the liquid was sold.out. I may toss all this crap and try the complete powder, but I wonder if I will have the same issue.

I used the TM A4R powder and it mixes well in a couple of minutes.

Agreed with this. The AFR mixes in warm water in a couple of minutes.

It doesnt need to dissolve fully until you add the A+ and K+.

I make mine with room temp RODI, mixing by hand and no heater in about 15 min.
