    Default Dosing two part

    Can two part Ca/Alk (B-ionic) be diluted on RO water and dosed intermittently using a peristaltic pump on a timer? What I'm looking at doing is diluting it out and dosing small amounts into the sump throughout the day using a timer. For example, dose Ca for 5 min, wait 10min, dose Alk for 5 min, wait 10min, then repeat cycle.

    I am sure it can, that is what you add to it initailly if you by the big set. I would constanty monitor your levels though. My calcium got way up in only 2 weeks when I first started. I was dosing everyday the recommended amount.

    Yes it can. That's what I did until I simplified my dosing system, no diluting anymore.
