Mixing Supplements and putting on a doser

[dannyt]

I currently supplement my tank with the following weekly dose (though i split it into 2 days)

2ML Vanadium
8ML Iodine
33ML Manganese

I'm wondering -- can I mix a monthly supply of all three and put it on a doser to evenly dose 24/7? Or will mixing them cause some type of reaction?

I wouldn't recommend putting them together as you are then relying on the consumption of those 3 elements remaining equal which is not always the case.

Is that the only reason not to mix? Assume your going to dose the above quantities for a month. Couldn't you make up a solution of the three to last a month? Or will there be unwanted chemical reactions? Thanks

i second @Halostemanic question

 

[Tim@Triton]

If you were to make them up then I would only make enough to do month by month followed by testing to keep an eye on it, some of the element consumption is very dynamic and can change significantly from one week to the next, this is why we do not offer maintenance dose information for some elements.

Iodine, Manganese, and Vanadium can go together but they must be diluted with RO. Strontium can be added to Calcium safely. All other elements must be dosed individually as they are too reactive to be mixed.

Thank you, that's useful information as I generally dose these manually weekly and it would be useful to dose them daily. I hear your concerns on varying uptake.

Thats funny, I dose the same three elementz and about the same portions.
HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE DOSE THESE THREE?

I do daily plus zinc also.
I .28 ml
Mn .42 ml
Zn .10 ml
V .02 ml x 7 weekly
