Does anyone have a calculation table indicating how much Baking soda will raise Alkalinity.
Like 1tsp raises 50Gwater .25 dKh?
Thanks,
Brad

Very Cool! Thanks!.
I have seen a lot of people refer to your CA and ALK mix, Where can I find your formula?
Thanks,

This is it:

Bulk Reef Supply is a fine place to get it all, or just the calcium part from. :)

Randy - If I call Home Depot, Menards or Lowes, what do I ask for (dowflake) that they will most likely have?

Dowflake de-icer in winter. Other times they won't have it.
