To dilute or not to dilute Reef Energy AB+ and/or All for Reef

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

Thank you for the clarification. I am diluting 100% with fresh RO/DI water. I think that is the same as 2x? Basically, I take my mix 500ml Solution, then add another 500ml of fresh RO/DI.

Yes. That solution may be still salty enough to prevent bacteria growth (not sure) and it may be fine.

I see this is old, but I think dilution of All For Reef will need to be with RO/DI or the high calcium may cause precipitation of calcium carbonate.

There's some risk of bacteria consumption of the formate once diluted so watch for any precipitation over time (of calcium and magnesium carbonate).

Any opinion with regards to RODI dilution of RedSea Energy +?

I do not know exactly what's in it or how it prevents bacterial degradation for a week, but dilution may make it more prone to bacterial consumption.
