DIY Three Part with Balling Part C Recipe

Then it is not the dihydrate. That pegs the moisture level to a range around that level.

For clarity, either the dosing instructions on the Triton box (pictured on their site) are not correct or the product is not dihydrate?

If I ended up picking up a box, what would be the best way to confirm?

I get 3.6 g using the online calculator for a 10 ppm increase in 100 L. Anhydrous calcium chloride needs 2.7 g.

So where does that leave us with Triton stating thier dihydrate product is 3g?

What would be your recommendation for someone using it?

It probably not actually the dihydrate exactly.

I think my question has been lost here....

I cannot purchase items from BRS at my location in New Zealand. It won't let me set up an account. Regardless I have already purchased everything required from the below recipe.

Solution 1:
1496g Sodium Hydroxide
100 ml FM Trace 3 - Potassium, Iodine, Bromine, stabilizers. Based on inorganic compounds

Solution 2:
2643g Calcium Chloride
120ml FM Trace 2 - Iron, Manganese, copper, nickel, zinc, chromium
200ml FM Trace 1 - Potassium, strontium, boron, selenium, rubidium, vanadium, fluorine

Solution 3:
962g AF Mineral salt
6789g Magnesium Chloride
900g Magnesium Sulfate

Then at the end of dosing 20l I tip 1litre of magnesium sulfate/chloride from the standard ratio? Am I reading this right? Something seems not right here.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the confusion from the other posts I've read is there was extra magnesium that needed to be added when the 3 parts were finished. However, I think they were ultimately talking 2 different things. Traditional 3rd part is just the salts for ionic balance and the extra magnesium added after the 3 parts is for consumption. The formula posted above would not need extra magnesium added for consumption as it is included in the 3rd part. Or am I missing something?

Correct. I don’t know what anyone else is talking about, but my 3 part recipe does account for magnesium consumption.

Just to be clear, if using balling part C for the 3rd part, we will need to supplement a little extra magnesium since balling only accounts for ionic adjustments and not consumption, right?

Correct.
