dosing

I'm a relative newbie to dosing and I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can but with limited time to read up on it, I can't make an informed decision on my own right now. I've been dosing with baked baking soda and calcium chloride but I'd like to try Tropic Marin's Carbocalcium because it...

okay r2r got a question for everyone. I’m a fairly well versed and experienced reefer at the age of 27 currently been in the hobby for 12 years. Most everything I’ve learned (like most others) has been through trial and error and research. currently my tank is an all acro 75 gallon reef tank...

Hey y’all, I’ve been battling dinos for a solid month and a half, and they started due to an imbalance in nitrates and phosphates. I had moderate levels of nitrates while having undetectable phosphates. This imbalance arises because I did not think to dose nutrients during a fallow period...

I was wondering, do you need to add some kind of movement to the liquid in dosing containers? Like an air-stone? I was just thinking after time maybe things separate and so could be dosing concentrated amounts.

I am getting confused and concerned by how much calc and alk I am dosing since dumping 4 bottles of Coralline spores from Atlantic Reef Conservatory last month. Looking for some input and thoughts please. Here's the story. I started a new 400 gal tank on May 7th. Felt it was fairly well...

75 Gallon water volume with sump, Not seeing any precipitation or anything my alk dropped from 9.1dkh to 8.6dkh in 3 days and the brs calculator recommends dosing 21.4ml of brs liquid soda ash to get back to 9.1dkh which would be 7.13ml per day to keep it stable, but on the other hand I’m thrown...

Hi everyone, I recently installed an apex system on my tank, I have the dosing pump as well it just hasn't been installed yet. I initially set the unit up about a week ago and I got an really low alk reading initially i think the number was 5dkh. I went ahead and started doing some brightwell...

Hi Everyone, this summer or fall I will be taking the leap into dosing my Redsea 250. I'm in the planning stage currently and just trying to figure out what I will need as far as equipment and what to dose. I've been dosing Calcium and Reef Plus via my auto top off and that has worked for my GSP...

Hi All, I am relatively new to reefing but learning a very steep learning curve which has been great fun, now my water parameters are very stable and i am now in a position where i can see my coral nutrient demand, i am looking to 'fine-tune' my dosing. So the past two weeks i have been dosing...

Hey all I need an advice here. I have a refugium with a chaeto set about 15 days ago. It was fine until yesterday when started to break in a few pieces. Today in the morning it was worse, so I took out from the sump because started to spread a lot of pieces in the tank. It is still green...

Hi folks, I am looking to implement 2-part/balling method using sodium carbonate, however most products I see being sold here in the UK use sodium bicarbonate. I would like to run my pH a little higher, hence my interest in using soda ash. BRS soda ash is not available here, and although I am...

I'm refining my doser tubing path/plumbing to neaten up the sump a bit... I'd like to continue to use the "regular" more rigid refrigerator type waterline tubing between the reservoir and the doser. Then I would like to use the more flexible 1/8" ID silicone tubing between the doser and the...

The nitrate level on my tank is below .1ppm. I have been dosing the equivalent of 1 ppm sodium nitrate for a few days and every morning I test its back around 0. I tested minutes after dosing and read around 1ppm and I even dosed to my water change bucket and got 1ppm. So I am pretty certain my...

Which pump is best/easiest to use and maintain parameters? From my understanding the X1 only allows dosing 12 times a day while the X1 Pro allows dosing 24 times a day. We have a 125 gal display and a 40 gallon sump with about 110 gallons of water total, minus rock, sand, refugium, and all...

Hi all, I have been dosing manually by hand each day - up until now... I have a new GHL Doser I am setting up. Up until now, I have been mixing 1tsp of Soda Ash in RODI water and manually adding it to the tank each day. This has been keeping my Alk and pH right where I want them. Now that I...

Hi! I never had the colours I wanted in my corals, so I decided to perform an ICP test. The only big gap was Iodine, so I started dosing RF Potassium Iodide manually. Just 2 drops per day and It made a HUGE difference! My dosing pumps have 3 part dosing (AF Components Pro) and Vodka. I'm...
