Hi team
I currently dose Triton Core7 which I like. My tank ph is lower than i'd like though. It sits between 7.9 and 8.1 if I use a Co2 scrubber. lower if not. I have been thinking of swapping out the Alkalinity part of the triton for sodium hydroxide.
I would like to mix it up to be the same concentration as the Triton Alk for easy dosing with the other Triton salts. The triton Alk part is 19500dkh per litre. My question is how much sodium Hydroxide do I need to mix up the same Dkh per litre concentration.
Chemistry is not my strong point. Based on Randys recipe 2.0 I came up with these figures. Randy or anyone else. Can you please check them for me?
1 gram sodium hydroxide will raise 1L water to 70.8dkh or 1892meq/l
so 274.5 grams will raise 1L water to 19500dkh
Cheers
Jesse
