    Ah it all make sense now, 48 tsp = 1 cup, so I need 94.2 for recipe 2. So roughly two cups per gallon. Got it :)

    Another thought (you knew this was coming) when we talk of teaspoon are we saying level teaspoon? Or even better is there a way of knowing what 48 tsp is in say grams, which makes it easier then counting spoons.

    Also, if I baked 1 tsp each day, why couldn't I just mix that with a small amount of RODI water and place it in the tank

    Thanks again for your help, I will do this today. Hope you enjoyed your pint, you deserve it :D

    I'm amazed at how one dose has effected my PH. This normally goes up and down between 7.8 and 8.1. But as you can see by the Apex chart, it has pretty much stayed stable for the last 12 hours. You can see where I added the dose :)
