jaggedfire Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have been dosing for awhile now and it seems to be a fairly high amount for such a small tank. What is everyone else doing? I was thinking we could get a running list of comparative data to help determine if things are on the right track for myself and less experienced members Tank size: Water capacity: Dominant coral type or ratio: Cal dose: and type Alk dose: and type Notes: Me first: Tank size:25 gallons Tank capacity: 22 gallons Dominant coral type or ratio: 50% SPS, 35% Softies, 15 LPS Cal dose: 27mL BRS #1 daily Alk dose: 36mL BRS #1 daily Notes: My alkalinity drop is 2.3dKH/day which provides for wild swings without automation.

jaggedfire Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Awesome and thanks for the quick replies. It looks like I am within the 'expected' zone and just need more capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
