My Tank Thread
Hi @Randy Holmes-Farley,
I have a 265 gallon system and would like to start dosing ammonium bicarbonate. It seems like your solution is far below the maximum solubility of ammonium bicarbonate. Is there any issue with mixing it roughly 10x stronger? Wikipedia suggests 24.8g/100mL at 25C is the maximum solubility.
I have limited sump space and it would be ideal to not have to have a gallon jug for this solution. I would be dosing in the middle of my sump so I think the odds of a high concentration solution affecting fish prior to circulation seems low.
Thanks!
It may well be much more soluble. I just picked a convenient concentration for dosing a typical tank, but making it more concentrated for a big tank seems fine.
