I like the containers but am afraid they might clog if stuff settles at the bottom. Thoughts?
Hi Reefomeez! What supplement are you considering using the container for? Kalk leaves a sediment behind, so it may not be the best choice... but we can't think of anything else you'd encounter problems with. We'll pour ourselves another cup of coffee and think about it some more while we wait to hear back. :nerd:

Thanks for the reply!

Honestly I'm not sure yet. I'm deciding between using Brightwell powder supplements (Ca, Alk, Mg), using B-Ionic 2-Part and Mg or BRS 2-Part & Mg. Right now I use Brightwell solution but once I get my doser online I want to transition to one of the above.

Powder supplements don't leave any precipitate (they shouldn't anyway—you should be just fine using Brightwell additives). Just be sure to dissolve them completely before you begin dosing your tank. If you intend to use kalkwasser at any point, you'd just want to mix it in a separate container first and add only the clear solution to the dosing container (and not the sediment on the bottom).
