master503 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Before I dose MK Breed Blue Diamond into 5-gallon jug RO water. The TDS is 1-2ppm. I want to get to 4 dGH. - KH: 0-1 I dosed 4mL of MK Breed Blue (1mL / gal) to get 4dGH = 118 ppm TDS and kH is still about 0-1. Does anyone have similar number like mine? Is this correct number look to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivergardennursery Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Usage:adding 10ml into 100 liters (~25 gallons) will increase roughly 1-1.3dGH. Hope this helps For 5 Gallons you would dose about 8 ml to get the GH up to 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
master503 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 @Rivergardennursery , thanks for the info .. but I do wonder because today I dosed 4ml and tested api gH it took 4 drops to get the color of ish green with 118 TDS from digital (HM) meter. If I dose 8ml per your suggest, would that be too much? As per instruction of ML Blue 10 mL / 25 gallons = .4 mL/gallon for +1 dGH, But I need 4-5 dGH, and I didn’t want to over the amount, it so I calculated for 4 dGH… .4 mL/gallon x 4 gal = 1.6 mL/gallon for 4 dGH,and when I use 1.6 mL dose / gal (tested on 1 gal RO water) to aim for 4 dGH, but it bring dGH of 10 . So I lower down to 1 mL / gal (dosed 4 mL MK Blue) in 5 gal jugs RO water, which yielded a dGH of 4 dGH. 1 mL/gallon of Blue Diamond x 5 gallons = 5 mL of Blue Diamond for 5 dGH , for that I just used 4 mL Blue Diamond aim for near/at 4 dGH. Not sure anyone else using MK Blue diamond has same result as me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
