Can I mix B-Ionic part A and B in RODI and slowly dose throughout the day?

HI All,

 

Simple question I cannot seem to find a clear answer on.  Can I mix B-Ionic part A and B in RODI and slowly dose throughout the day?

I add about 6-8 oz of RODI water a day due to evaporation.  Can I mix 3ml each of part A and B with that and slowly add during the day?

Just wonder if mixing the 2 has any bad effects.

My wife and I both work from home so small additions during the day and evening are easy. 

 

Thanks

Nah can’t mix them. Should even be dosed separately a few minutes apart, all for reef is a single solution, or if you want to go by evaporation look into kalkwasser

Can’t mix together as stated or they will precipitate. You can always dose the calcium during daytime and then alk at night. 
 

But this dosing system is easy enough to just add them as recommended.

As reported already, no, the two cannot be mixed or even dosed at the same time.

 

But there is no need to add slowly.  Dose 3ml of one, then an hour later (or more) dose 3ml of the other.  Manual dosing is fine, but this can be automated with dosing pumps.

I replied to this not realizing it was a year old.

No problem.  I didn't look at the date either.
