Is there a dosing order? like when dosing seperately. Do i do mag first, calcium, and then alk. Somebody told me a spike in alk can reduce calcium, and told me to dose mag first, calcium, alk.

By mistake i added the alk dose, and i was doing the mag dose added 50ml for mag, and then i realized i didn't wait. my tank is 150G did i cause any chemical damage? i stopped immediately. I am new to dosing.Dosen't matter. Just dose with about 30 minutes to an hour between different chemicals.
No damage. I'm not exactly sure which component causes what to percipitate but that's what usually happens if you add compontents at the same time, usually in higher amounts. Like if you add 50ml of alk and 50ml of magnesium at the same time (just guesstimaing here) the alk would cause the magnesium to percipitate out of the water column. Esentially being like you added no magnesium at all. Like I said I cant remeber which components interact like that, I just know to space the dosing out long enough as to not cause that to happen.By mistake i added the alk dose, and i was doing the mag dose added 50ml for mag, and then i realized i didn't wait. my tank is 150G did i cause any chemical damage? i stopped immediately.
