I'm in the UK (Scotland) and have been reading up on http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/rhf/index.php#1
If I was to make Recipe #1 could I just use SODIUM CARBONATE instead of having to bake the sodium bicarbonate?
Also over here, we use the metric system, not gallons so I would need to work out how much to add per Litre rather than per us gallon.
I think I can get everything I would need from this site https://www.bluebayaquatics.fish/12-chemicals apart from epsom salts.
So I could use this for the alkalinity part https://www.bluebayaquatics.fish/24-sodium-carbonate
and this for the calcium part https://www.bluebayaquatics.fish/ca...calcium-chloride-dihydrate-0632016306335.html
Correct?
For the magnesium part, I have leftover bottles of the red sea magnesium liquid which states MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE on the bottle. Would this mix with epsom salts? I also have tropic marin bo-magnesium lying around, could I not just use that for the magnesium part of the solution?
I guess what I really need help with is the math on how much to use to make a balanced two-part that you would dose an equal amount of each in Grams and Liters? 1 us gallon is equal to 3.78541 Liters so whats the amounts of each to add to 1 Liter of RO?
Also what about trace elements?
