Good to know. I haven't tried to use it in the display.

I've used it quite a bit in the past when I used IO. I've started using it again in H2Ocean since it seems over the years H2Ocean has higher and higher alkalinity. Locally there are no low-alkalinity salt mixes available, so muriatic acid it is. My dosing confirms the same as yours. pH does dip, but it only takes a couple hours to come back up ime.
