Increasing the Strength of 2 Part?

[mtp]

RC Folks

I dose 2 part solutions through Liter Meters. I would like to reduce the number of times I have to mix the solutions and the amount I have to dose in my reef to maintain the Alk and Ca levels. Is there a reason I should not increase the strength of the solution by 50% or 100% to accomplish these objectives?

Thanks, Mike

The alkalinity part of two part additives is close to saturation and cannot be substantially increased. :)

Thanks Randy!

I thought that might be the answer. It was only a convenience issue for me. Hoping otherwise but not surprised.

Have a great weekend.

You're welcome.

Happy Reefing. :)

Make bigger batches at a time.

I mix 15 gallons at a time of each. Lasts me about 6 months.

Thankfully now that you can purchase soda ash in bulk vs. having to bake baking soda. It makes life much easier.

1 gal usually lasts me about 1 month so I mix up 3 gal of each. I use the old used 5 gal water jugs from work.
