After 3 days on new NaOH recipes I have not measured anything as too soon but am getting a white solid deposit on floor of sump...perhaps 20-25 square inches of it... will scrape off but not vacuum off.
OK thanks Randy.. my doser allows lots of small doses so I will spread it more over the 24 hrs.
Would i be right in suspecting the Mg option given my Calcium dosing has not changed and I have started Mg inclusion after never dosing it previously..?
Magnesium..... Have not dosed it before. Am still getting hard deposit on sump floor which I cannot even scrape off. Dont know what Mg(OH)2 looks and feels like but this deposit is quite hard ... so it doesnt seem like CaCO3 to me. Have altered dosing setup for smaller doses into higher flow area, but too early to be sure of improvement but I think it is building up less. Mg readings not changed in the week.
Salifert 1150 to Salifert 1150...more time..?

Can the calcium chloride and magnesium chloride from BRS be used? It doesn't say if they are dihydrate or hexahydrate. Also, how can I make the solution with out as scale, is there a conversion to cups or tablespoons? I have been using the BRS bulk calcium chloride 2 1\2 cups per gallon of water.
Thank you. Another question I have is can I use the new calcium recipe with the BRS soda ash solution? Or would I need to use the new alk recipe too?
