I'd prefer a liquid alk supplement over a powdered one. I won't buy Reef Builder again (I don't think).

I'm using this for alk as well, I mixed and let it sit for a day before using, then stirred it again. I just started using this, prior I was using the liquid, but too costly with the issues I'm having atm.

For mag and ca, I'm using Fauna Marin and no issues with it.

What's your ratio for your mix Shelley? (just asking to make sure my math is correct)...
