Now I'm confused!
All I know what has worked well for me and anyone who used this amount.. 2 tsp per gallon I doubt would make a very strong solution. You can't mix to much or it will not get into solution. I'm going to all the trouble to mix it I want a full mix and what won't go into solution just falls out But that fall out has locked up and holds Phosphates and silicates better then any PO4 media will. I've been mixing it like this for more years then I want to remember any longer. Besides its plenty cheap to use , Also I use a reactor for the last 10 yrs that I designed so I don't have to mix it anylonger I just keep that filled and all My makeup water passes through the Lime reactor 24/7 before entering the sump
