I have switched back to h2ocean. And do my mid week dosing

I think they said not to use heater because initially, the heater would be too hot compared to the water temperature and that would cause calcium precipitation around the heater. I don't think it would be a problem if the water is already at room temperature. And I do use powerhead; cannot think of any logic behind their claim of not using one. Infact, in their website, they did suggest mixing it for atleast 24hours for proper equilibrium of co2 and o2.
No clue about their claims. Like I said, they just bring in too many chemistry and I was never good at that :P
