Sodium Hydroxide for alk + trace elements

[Joedubyk]

Admittedly, I would fail high school chemistry , or even elementary chemistry....soo

I want to add tropic marin trace elemements to my alk and calcium. Its meant for brs 2 part (soda ash)..,.. I use sodium hydroxide /sodium sulfate for higher pH..

i should be able to add the trace elements w/ no issues/reactions?

Maybe. Your pH is higher and that might precipitate some metals.
What exact product are you referring to?

if it is the Balling part C, it cannot be combined with any alk part.

if it is the Balling part C, it cannot be combined with any alk part.

so the alk would be mixing w/ " contains bromine, fluorine, iodine, lithium, vanadium, molybdenum and selenium in pure mineral form. "

So, there is *some* precipitation in the alk part as predicted with pH higher. IS there anyway to make them soluble again, or is just no tpossible iwth higher pH?

I'm not sure what exactly is precipitating, so i cannot say if it might redissolve when added to the tank. Some things will, a few won't.
