Dowflake...where to buy?

[MattS]

I'm having to dose and I'm not thrilled with the price it will take to keep things stable. I've been dosing alkalinity with baked baking soda and it only costs a dollar a box and reading the DIY 2-part method I could save even more mixing my own calcium supplement.

So where can I find Dowflake?

The new Dowflake no longer safe for dosing due to high bromine level.

 

[MattS]

Any alternative?

I wouold highly suggest using a 2-part system from bulk reef supply, its very cheap compared to most systems.
Or just buy a calcium reactor, one big expense but then you are mostly done.

I'll be getting the 95g soon and it's going to have mostly SPS and a few LPS so the calcium demand will be high. How long do you think a 5g bucket would last? I know it depends on the system, I'm just looking for a ballpark estimate.

Matt, I am using the bulk reef supply 2 part. It would last you for a good while.

When he said a good while he means for his 300g tank with a bunch of SPS. Right Tommy? :wink:
