Hi Christy

I am using the Bulk Reef Supply

Bulk 2 Part Instructions: Recipe 2

It calls for 1 1/8 cups of BS to each gallon of RO water.

I mix 5 gallons at a time in a large 6 gallon salt bucket with 6 cups of BS.

I use a MJ 1200 pump and let it mix for a couple of days with little to no residual.

If you feel this recipe ids too week you can just adjust the dose either frequency or quantity.

I would not want to dose if there is any residual in the water.

I mix 1600gm in 10 liters of water. Not sure what that is in cups, but I like to be accurate. It makes it easier to set your dosing amount. I just shake the container a few times over a couple of hours and it mixes clear.

1 cup = 250 ml

A box of Arm & hammer is 500 ml or 2 cups
