I make a stock for my two part additive based on RHF recipe (improve formula). But i have 2 problem that makes me confuse :
1. If i go to chemical store, i said i want to buy sodium bicarbonate but what i get is sometimes natrium bicarbonate sometimes baking soda, they said they all the same product. Is this true? If not, what is the different between them? Which one that i must avoid?
2. Up until now, i make a 1 gallon natrium bicarbonate/baking soda solution stock based of your recipe. But what makes me confuse is, when it is a new solution (i mean i just made it), then i pour to the tank, the water is not become a milky appereance, it just looks like a mix of freshwater with salt water. But, later (i forgot how many days), but may be after i was using about 1/2 gallon of the solution then when i pour the solution to the tank, it will makes a milky mix after the solution mix with saltwater tank. The solution usually finish in about 1-1,5 months. Question is, is this normal? If not, is this dangerous to the tank inhabitant? Why this happen? Or maybe something wrong with me in making the solution? Am i keep the solution too long?
Thank you very much.
