Help switching to Core7 from BRS 2-part

[tacosricos]

I am in the process of moving to the core 7 system. I am currently dosing BRS 2-part, (15ml of the discontinued sodium bicarbonate) into a ~70gal system. My alk is at 8 (hanna checker). Using the BRS calculator I estimate my alk consumption at .2 dKH/day.

Following the guide on the core7 bottle I should start by dosing 2.6 ml/ day. Will I need to dilute the core7 additives in order to use them with this system?

No... I did the same as you about 1 1/2 years ago. Started full strength at 2ml per day (65 gallon tank uses 6.2 ml now) and checked Alk every other day, at the same time, and increased as needed. Worked out fine.

Great, thanks!
