BulkReef 2-Part with Mag Mixing ?

greencamaroz28 · 08-07-2008, 08:49 PM

well I'am new to a 2-part and my 32 oz. of ESV ran out . i bought some 2-part mix with magnesium sepratre from bulkreefsupply .

Anyways i wanted to mix up the 2-part today . It makes 1 gallon of each alk. & Cal. .

Any tips before i start mixing ? i have spring water jugs ( 1 gallon ) Emtpy , and ro water to mix with .And was going to fill the old ESV bottle's and fill them up and use them to squirt out the amount into my mearsing cup . and keep the 1 gallon as the main supply . Its ok to do this as long as i mix up the whole 1 gallon real well first ?

Its store bought RO . I dont know the TDS . (maybe i should try calling Culligan company ?) Thats where i get it from in my local supermarket . I know drinking RO is not as strict as RO/DI found in good reef type RO/DI units . so should i wait ? go by RO/DI frim a local reefer ?

Second how you mix the magnesium ?

BTW the Store bought RO is all i been using since day one

Thanks ,

Jason
