Reef Chemistry Question of the Day #108
In a balanced two-part calcium and alkalinity recipe, including my DIY recipe, why is it necessary to use two parts instead of combining them into a single additive?
A. Calcium carbonate will precipitate and will not redissolve in the aquarium
B. Calcium sulfate will precipitate and will not redissolve in the aquarium
C. You can mix them; I do it all the time
D. Magnesium sulfate will precipitate and will not redissolve in the aquarium
Good luck!
