Sodium Bicarbonate usually come in a small box at 500 ml. That is 2 cups as 250 ml equals 1 cup. Most mixes are a cup or 1 1/8 cups per US gal.

I bought a set of cooking measuring cups for $1.00 at the DOLLAR store.

Thanks for the info. Ian ,are you selling the bulk supplies at your store? is so do you stock them or only thru orders?

Doug , what is RHF stuff? did you notice your salinity creeping up on you ? Did you find you needed to do more WC's .I do 30gal every two weeks , so hoping that should suffice .What do you figure.

Thanks

RHF is the Randy Holmes Farley method. If I'm not mistaken he developed the home mix suppliments or at the very least he brought it to our attention. Here is a link to the instructions, it's what Ian linked you to and seeing as they sell the bulk ingredients you may as well buy it all from them. It took me a while to find the Ca and it was about $40 for a bag but one bag would make a lot of concentrate. I'd stick with Ian's stuff as it uses the improved recipe.
