Micro-E dosing
Is there anyway to make a solution of this to setup to a dosing pump? Possible to dilute with ro/di water?
For example it says to dose 1 drop per 25gal: How many drops per 1L to make a solution of the same equivalent? |

I am unaware of any authorized way to make a solution like that.
Besides for convenience, is there a specific reason why you'd like to dose like this? What products from AF are you currently using? It's actually 1 drop per 27 US Gallons. I would suggest to dose this per the directions . Micro E is very strong and you wouldn't want to over dose it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I remember somebody brought this up. And unfortunately is not possible.
I understand its more convenient as we might be away for days or weeks even months. Hope AF could figure this out Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |

Have a look at Component B in 2L form - you can dose that.
My guess is its just Micro E to 2L R/O but its just a guess Same like NP Pro in 2L form is 50ml NP Pro to 2L R/O http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2570237 The bottle your using might be better to use as the iron in a dosing container of Comp B tends to settle onto the bottom. Least with a bottle & dropping you can shake before you dose. Last edited by 2una; 04/19/2017 at 02:17 PM. |

I can confirm this.
Micro E contains the same heavy elements like Component B but Micro E is more concentrated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

How much microE add to 1L of RO/DI to dose 10ml of solution from a dosing pump per dose, to get the same concentrations as 1 drop per 27 gal? |
