I would be interested in your progress with the Reef Carbonate. I have used the liquid carbonate products myself and have found them to be very lacking when it comes to raising alkalinty any significant amount if you are trying to remedy a problem.

They can and are fine for maintaining levels that are already balanced though.

FYI, not sure if you know this but make sure you never add a carbonate product at the same time or near the same time as a product that contains magnesium. If added to closely timewise, they will form Magnesium Carbonate and do nothing for the alkalinity. They are best dosed several hours apart.

Cheers
