anyone using sea green with coco dtw

[guerilllataktic]

I recently bought some primordial solutions sea green. I have fed a couple times by hand and my plants look better than ever with just a couple of applications, however i have been hesitant to add it to my res. I know this stiff foams like crazy with an air stone but i have a circulation pump running instead. anyone with some advice please chime in.

I hand water Sea Green in about once a week in my coco dtw (blumat) set up by adding 1ml/gallon to water pulled directly from my res.

Added it once to the res with a pair of airstones in there and it towered foam for a week. The pH kept stubbornly wanting to rise as well, and one of my blumat nozzles clogged.

There is a hydro version of Sea Green available that might help with the foaming, whether using a pump or stones (I haven't tried it, though).

i have looked into the hydro version and it looks like it isnt nearly as concentrated at 35 mil a gallon instead of 1 mil/gallon, i cant see that being very cost effective

Oh bummer, good to know. I'm not sure how to avoid foaming with lots of water movement when adding high amounts of organic matter (sea green is like, nothing but).
