A question about Alk dosing container. What are you guys doing to mix? Just shake the container once a day or every other day? Or using a stirring device?
 
Alk?

Mix once really well and it should be stable?

What product?

Redsea powder. Does the solution once mixed need to me mixed or shaken in the container is the question. Sorry didn’t word the post in correct terms.
 
Not sure what RedSea powder is, if it dissolves completely I would guess baking soda, and if it’s milky I would guess it’s Kalkwasser, which is best kept in a stirring container?

Just basic part b powder so possibly baking soda. At how fast I go through it with three systems, I might do basic baking soda switch. Way cheaper.

And I guess once let’s say baking soda is mixed for a solution, it doesn’t need to be shaken from time to time?
 
It doesn’t come out of solution like concentrated kalkwasser will, so no need to shake it.

I use soda ash and RODI. Normally fully dissolved in 24 hours. Just a shake here and there to mix it then nothing after.

When I used baking soda with a KH Guardian it did not need to be shaken after it was dissolved.

Switched to triton, and same thing, the alk solution from them after dissolved doesn't need to be shaken.
