Mixing additives before dosing

[JavaJacketOC]

So, I know Alk and Cal is a no no but what about other elements? I don't like doing water changes so I've decided to start dosing some of the minor elements to help counteract skimming and general depletion and since most of them are rather small amounts to dose I planned on doing it once a week. Should I be concerned about mixing them in a smaller measuring shot glass then dose all at once?

 

The additives are all from the Brightwell line:

• POTASSION - CONCENTRATED POTASSIUM SOLUTION
• FERRION - LIQUID IRON SUPPLEMENT
• REPLENISH - LIQUID TRACE & MINOR MINERALS FOR ALL MARINE AQUARIA
• KORALCOLOR - INCREASED COLORATION
• IODION - LIQUID IODINE SUPPLEMENT - LONG ACTING

You could get an all in one like Kent elements

I thought about that one but the reviews of Brightwell seemed pretty good so I opted for that. The replenish seemed to have a lot of stuff mixed in and I assume the Potassium, Iron and Iodine are all separate so you have more control over the amount dosed than anything else. I assume it's ok to mix them but just wanted some reassurance.

 

What did you decide to have yesterday, Booze, Starbucks or Tea?

It should be fine to add them together.

I had em all.

 

Salifert used to make an all in one element solution as well.

Oh. And I have cowgirl boots on.

Decided to call Brightwell (probably should have just done that from the start), they said not to combine everything before dosing as there could be some toxicity side effects. They suggested I dose everything on separate days except for the Potassium and Iron, which can be dosed one right after another.

 

I may or may not have already dosed each item separately but on the same day twice . I haven't noticed any issues but I am dosing the smallest amount recommended...might switch to daily with Alk and Cal but that might get annoying after a while.
