Randy's 2 part

[ASaleem91]

How does the dosing work for this? Where is a cheap place to buy Dow Flake and Mag Flake online or locally

How many of you guys/gals use this? What were the outcomes of using it, good or bad?

 

Thanks,

Ali

on reefkeeping magazine randy has a convenient dosing calculator for dosing the first time and for daily dosing subsequently. it depends on the size tank and corals. i bought the dowflake at a hardware store on 12th and monroe st, n.e. in dc. i bought the magflake at the home depot on rhode island ave. my calcium went from 220 to 450ppm with one dosing. i have only been using it for a week but so far my alk and cal has been more stable then what i was using before.

Everything you wanted to know about Randy's two-part but were afraid to ask (including dosing instructions):

Where to find DowFlake locally:

Virginia Contractors Supply had dozens of pallets of DowFlake when I was there a couple of weeks ago. I doubt that they have sold it all.

 

MAG Flake seems to be harder to find but I did notice that the Home Depot on Liberia in Manassas had a full pallet of it just before the ice storm.

 

Lots of people use this stuff. Follow directions in the first article and you should have no problems.
