A Few Stupid Noob Questions

It's probably ammonium bicarbonate, it's an old fashoined version of baking powder, and you can still buy it in some specialist bakeries (mostly Greek and Chinese ones).

It's also sometimes known as 'hartshorn'.

If it is that (and I can't think of anythig else it could be) it's perfectly safe to use, you'll just have to use some scales and some maths to work out how much to dose.
 
Thanks fluttermoth. I'm tempted to make a solution, then add drops til my ten litres reaches 4ppm. Then I know a drop to 10l ratio of the solution :)
 
Ok, instead of messing about with the powder, I bought this

This lists no ingredients, doesn't foam when I shake it, so I bought a medicine dropper from the chemist. I'll try 5ml and see from there.

Is this the right stuff to use?
 
Yes, lots of people have used that one :good:
