OMG Aquatics Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Dosing powder that doesn't always go into water column or is slow/has trouble, I recommend getting a tiny pipe looking thing. It could be a small pvc tubing but make sure the diameter has a good 1-2cm and roughly 0.5" in height . Place pvc tubing a little into water. Dose powder directly into pvc tubing. I couldn't believe how quickly all my bacter AE was in the water column. Just 10 seconds and it's all in! None at surface! You could pour water through the pvc tubing if you want to be faster.

Duque Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Poopians, I may try that technique tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion. For anything that needs to be in the water column, I usually mix with water first and then introduce it via a pipette. When adjusting RO, I dissolve SS GH+ and TDS UP in a small, clean, soda bottle, first. That way, it's easier to see if the powder has dissolved completely or needs more "shaking".

EricM Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 when i dose any powders i mix them in a cup of tank water first then pour that into a current. ensures no powder sticks to the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I dose the powder directly to the water. Sponge Filter would take care of it, and I get slow release effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
