    Bro I've been using all for reef powder for over a year now which is around 3 tubs and absolutely every time it's pure white and mixes crystal clear, that stuff don't look too good man

    My biggest word of advice is that this supplement works slow and stable. Initially, I thought it would be the same as 2 part. Where you can see the change in alkalinity pretty quick from day today and within a week time know your exact consumption. However, within four days I saw zero change and double dosage slowly in craft until one day it seems to raise a whole point within a couple of hours when I tested again thinking something was up. In retrospect, be prepared to not get your consumption results right away do it slow.

    Great video! Do yu really have to buy all that gear? Someone on Amazon said 6 spoons for 1000 ml bottle and 3 for 500 ml bottle. Not sure if she is right. She says she pits clear aquarium rock in the bottle to help stir it! Also couldnt you convert it online to grams?

    I’m still watching but I caught that you said 900 mls is a liter and it’s 1,000 mls per liter. Just to clarify. 100mls will make a big difference.
