Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any insight to the possibilities of alcohol being used in this product? Or if any one had the ability to test it. I am wondering because we have a customer who experienced a stress crazing in an acrylic liquid dosing chamber while using this product that is consistent with a chemical stress. Given what the product advertises itself to do, I am wondering if there is some sort of alcohol used in it's formulation. I emailed the manufacture but I thought I would also check here.

Thanks!

Doesn't it say it contains methyl alcohol on the bottle?

In this thread someone analyzed it http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2408985

It contains ethanol, acetic acid and methanol.

There's a recipe for a DIY version in that thread, as I recall. We can look it up, if not.

Now that is going the extra mile to research a customer issue.

When I go to a calcium reactor, you're getting my money.
