Dosing Randy's Two Part

[nanoreefer22]

Today I went out and made my Randy's two part solution. I was wondering how you dose the first two parts of this? Do you dose a little daily? or some biweekly? The Mg part I'm good on.

I believe Randy's two part solution is same as Bionic's two part. I think you should dose it everyday or use a two part dosing system to dose it regularly.

What did you get for calcium part? Did you get the dowflake? or peladow?

Good luck

i think kalk is used for calcium, and the dowflake is used to boost it.

Jung,
I got a CaCl ice melter.

Jawwad,
Sure thing, I'll post a link to recipe later.

Leo,
Dowflake in this two part is actually the Ca part. Dowflake(CaCl) provice Ca, the Baking Soda provides the alk, and the Epsom salt provides the Mg on occasion.

yeah, but doesn't the ice melter contain too much CA to dose 1:1, of course it depends how much youre dosing...but i'm assuming you're topping off with this, guess you may not be.how much MG do you add? i forgot....is the total recipe 1:1:.5??

Heres a link to the article.

It's 2.5 cups of Ca to 1 gallon of water
2.25 cups of Alk to 1 gallon of water and
8 cups of Mg to 1 gallon of water.

Right now I'm tryna 30ml per day of pts. 1 and 2 and today is day 1. I'll post progress as I go along. When these part 1 and 2 gallons are finished that will be the first time i add Mg.
