WHAT ALK PRODUCT DO YOU USE AND WHY (BARNEGAT)

[njstillwell]

Just looking around to see what everyone is using to see what else is out there and why you are recomending it.... price or whatever you wish to state why you are using this product because im thinking about changing from brightwell to something new that mixes good and not leave snow all in my ro/di water

I use either B-Ionic or Tropic Marin Bio Calcium. Why? Because they do the job, are affordable, and won't leave a mess. ;D

I use brightwell alkalin 8.3-p works great , keeps my alk & ph on the money.

I use baked baking soda. Bake 1 small box of baking soda in a n oven at 300 for 1 hour and then mix with 1 gallon RO water. Makes good cheap ALK additive.

I went to trop today and got the brightwell reef code A-B i was just trying to get away from mixing in the powder cause it messes up my water look for a little while little bit of snow in the rodi water so i got this instead thanks for the answers

4 parks baking soda to 1 part baked baking soda... mixes to ~8.2 pH and is super cheap compared to aquarium marketed products. Ratio can even be change to raise or lower your pH temporarily if needed.

Baking soda here as well......Cheap and is the same as the name brand stuff. I do not bake mine just use it right from the arm and hammer box.

I use baking soda. Can't get any cheaper than that. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/april2004/chem.htm

And the winner is.......

Baking soda! Baked if you have low ph, not baked if your ph is in the OK to high range.

Baking soda here too.... cheap, effective, and cheap and I can easily find some in the house somewheres. I think I have one in my closet, one in my fridge, one in the freezer, one in the pantry........ Oh, and it's cheap.
