I have gradually been making a switch to a 50-50 RO and tap water mixture and my GH is quite low so I wanted to add GH booster to my fert routine and also to add to a new shrimp tank that I have setup which I want to run exclusively on RO because I dont completely trust my tap water
I normally add MgSO4 to my macro mixture anyways at around 3 tsp for every 4 tsp of KNO3.
Since I need to add Ca and Mg alone to the shrimp tank I got some CaSO4 and MgSO4 to make a GH booster solution and skip the Mn, Fe and K2 SO4 since they werent needed.
I read Toms recipe to make a stock solution by adding 4tsp CaSo4 and 4tsp MgSO4 to 1 litre of water and adding this at water change time.
I made a solution of 2 tsp each in 600ml water but its just too cloudy because of the CaSO4. Is this fine to add into the tank ?
Is there another Ca and Mg mixture that I can make ? I know CaCl2 and MgSO4 will react so those two cant be used together.
Do I make separate MgSO4 and CaCl2 solutions and add those ? (since CaSO4 is very slightly soluable only)
