Energy question

[Brew12]

Can I mix Reef Energy parts A and B in a container for automatic dosing or should they be kept separate?

Shuan,
Can you ask Kevin if you can mix both parts into one?

My work is too busy to talk with him right now.

All I remember is that it needs to stay cool and to use small amounts at a time so that it stays mixed.

I just saw in the instructions that any that is mixed and not used should be discarded. So I'm guessing the answer is no. I don't mind the manual additions for now.

Why did your "for now" comment sound like a prelude to a gadget?

Some time in the not too distant future I plan on adding another 4 head doser.

The instructions state that ‘A and B can be mixed together directly before supplementing’ but not so save any left over, I assume as it may go bad

It has to be keep refrigerated anyway, and also if your using a doser the lines will need to be kept cold and clean or they may clog and then the reef energy may go off and the lines block.

I’m personally at a stage with my tanks nutrient levels that I only dose reef energy ever 2-3 days and it’s made no difference to coral growth that I notice. Nitrates are around 12-16ppm with a trace of phosphate and with the daily fish waste they get plenty of food.

I think the daily use would be needed if your running ultra low levels were there’s no food in the water.
