DIY Fluoride

[FishTacos2]

@Randy Holmes-Farley I have the RM Flouride how many ML’S do I need to dose to go from .76 mg/L to 1.3 mg/l 120 gallons of water?

If you are using reef moonshiners fluoride, the. All you have to do is plug your numbers into the reef moonshiners excel calculator

Click on the classic calculator tab…

I understand that but I don’t have excel, are they going to make a mobile app? Can you plug them in for me ?

246.24 ml of 1000ppm F solution will raise 120 gallons 0.54 ppm.

You can use Google sheets to open the calculator also.

How does everyone dose fluoride? Moonshiners is telling me to add 150 ml per day for 12 days. I have a 50 ml measuring…thing. Is there any issue with dosing 50 ml 3x a day in my sump? I ask because I did that tonight and noticed a dead snail a few hours later.

It’s probably unrelated

What size is your tank and the levels of your parameters

I dose 100 mil of fluoride 24/7. Plus, whatever my ICP says I should add on top I add it from captivate.

I dose what ever the spreadsheet has I think that is 0.1 ppm per day max.

I don’t know anything about why moonshiners does what they do, but raising fluoride slowly to natural levels is no more risky than water changes and I don’t see why a snail would die if the doses were appropriate.
