Ok, I just read many posts about the bromide concern in Dow Flake. I have not used it but was planning to in the future. So is the Dow Flake with Randy's 2-Part a "go" or a "no"? Thanks for clearing this up:fish1:

The consensus is unchanged from this thread:

That is, it is probably OK, but bromide may also rise in the water.

Thanks Randy for clearing that up. You and others have a high intellect for this chemistry stuff-Thank God! I must admit that it is over the top of my head most of the time. I fry my brain nightly trying to learn everything that is pertinent to where I am at with this new hobby. Your articles are so in depth (which we all appreciate) and utilize the chemical abbreviations that I have to go back and re-read to remember what each stands for...of course being a "senior" has something to do with it too, at least in my case.:o
Is there by any chance a reference for the chemical abbreviations used in our hobby? If so, I could make a copy of it and keep it close by when reading...it would save me time to glance at that versus having to "scroll" so much. Again, Thank You for everything!!:wave:
