Yeah, you could do that, but it probably wouldn't help. If that was the case many bees would be boiling tetra. Swim's guess is that your goodz are still in the PM. Add more base? I don't think a bit more dh20 would hurt either.
1 box of 96 30mg “red hots” would be about 2.5- 3 tablespoons
This is from the original ahgreich TT write-UP. I don't think you used enought dh2o, bro.
