You got the whole pharmacy there
Yep. The last part of thanks to your generosity. I’ve learned by being burned in the past to be prepared.

Ughhhhh....these calculators are not giving me what I need ml wise. I'm going to replace dosing soda ash and calcium (if kalk) at night with either kalk or a straight sodium hydroxide solution. Figuring out the amounts is like doing a dam research paper. It's looking like it takes about 413x the amount of kalk than soda ash to raise dkh .1. Looks like .03 oz of soda ash vs 12.4 oz of kalk. This math could very well be wrong.If I went sodium hydroxide I got nothin...

Clipped that chunk off and cut it above the tissue loss. Didnt dip it. No clue what the heck thats about.

Can be a frustrating game sometimes.
That stinks. I get random ones every now and then...part of the lure and frustration at the same time

Im unsure of the specifics but it takes alot of kalk and only a little baking soda/soda ash. That is accurate. I think the calculations for baked and baking are about the same, baked being slightly more potent IIRC, in the ballpark of 78% of a baking soda dose for equal dkh. Whats your water volume and dkh you want to achieve ill double check?

I use the reef chemistry calculator for soda ash, sodium hydroxide, and kalk. It lets me convert amounts between all 3 pretty accurately. I mix my sodium hydroxide to match Randy’s recipe 1.

In a 100 gal system 7 grams of soda ash is equivalant to 3320mL of saturated kalk water, or 1dkh.

So if you want to create 1dkh/day, you mix 7 grams of soda ash into 100mL of RO (youd have to confirm solubility) and every 10mL would be .1dkh.

I'll be eliminating 24 ml of soda ash dosing at night...apprx. 110 gallons. I'm simply doing it to keep my ph higher as it approaches 8.6 during the day with soda ash but comes down to 8 at night

Or maybe it will better to cut back on the ash at night and supplement with kalk. Or with sodium hydroxide
