Question regarding Mosura Mineral Plus Ultra Concentrated Version

ethanleow · 04-09-2013, 12:37 PM

I've looked through many thread but still confused on how to use this. I dosing it in a newly set up tank.

When I open the mineral plus bottle, it comes with a dosing lid. So do I just dose directly from the bottle? 1 drop = 1ml? Or do I get a measuring cylinder to dose?

Can anyone help?

Btw my tank has 0 lifestock now.

I read that I have to fill this bottle up with RO water, that means I'm required to remove the lid?

Not sure about how to actually use this product, but usually 20 drops = 1ml

Mineral Plus is used to increase the TDS/GH of the water.

The best way to use mineral plus is together with a TDS meter.

I think you best get a syringe or some thing like that to help you dose.

I don't remember reading anywhere about filling the bottle up with RO water.

I was about to use a syringe as ive always dose anything with one.. but when I open up the bottle, it came with this lid and its very tightly sealed onto the bottle. So if I were to dose with a syringe, I need to use something to force open the lid.

What is the reading now?

About 170ppm.. I think will shoot up more as I will start my EI dosing tomorrow.

I heard when people EI dose their planted shrimp tank, their TDS shoot up to 350 to over 400 ppm
