hello
if BRS is not an option due to location
and non reef related supplement such as the ones in Randy's recipes are not going to be easy to recognise
( as the labels would all be in Chinese)
if you had to use a commercial product for supplementing Alk in a 70 gallon reef tank, which product would you use
thus far I have tried - Seachem - Reef builder - performs OK in terms of delivering what the instructions indicate it will do for a given amount in a given volume of water
negative being it requires a lot of RODI to get it to dissolve and even then it will fall out of solution if you dont shake/ stir the holding container periodically
also recently tried Kent Coral builder
positive - it dissolves better and seems to stay in solution much better
negative being that you seem to need to add twice as much in order to get the same amount of benefit ( basically 1 teaspoon of Seachem delivers 0.25dkh into my system , I need 2 teaspoons of Kent product to achieve same)
is there a commercially available powder product that is heads and shoulder above the 2 I have tried
Arm and Hammer is not available off the shelf here
