I know there are several threads on R2R about using sodium hydroxide to adjust pH, kill Aiptasia, etc. What is the common concentration of sodium hydroxide that is used - 93%? 50%? 25%? etc.?

What is the best resource(s) or guide to using sodium hydroxide to impact pH in a reef system?

The recipe here matches my diy#1 so folks can use calculators online for dosing

Duda Energy on Amazon. 99% Pure Food Grade.

Randy's recipe is based off 99% pure Sodium Hydroxide. I have been using this brand for over a year.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
