dosing

What's a safe daily increase in alkalinity levels that will not stress out corals? I've seen several different numbers. BRS's calculator recommends not increasing by more than 1.5 dKH in one day. That seems like a pretty high jump in one day. WWC's videos mention not increasing by more than .5...

Hello Everybody, I am new to the Saltwater world and I thoroughly enjoy reading all of the forums and hearing the input and advice. One thing I have been trying to do research in now that I have started getting corals up and running is maintaining nutrients. Do you guys recommend consistent...

Hi all! Long time lurker here, but the first time I'm posting. Long story short: I run a mixed reef setup with 20+ years old live rock and my nutrients keep bottoming out, to the point where my pulsating Xenia has all but disappeared and GSP won't even open. SPS are growing fairly well, to the...

I am interested in starting the moonshiners method on my reef tank. I have a ton of other ICP-OES testing kits. However, none are ATI kits. Can other ICP-OES test be used and still produce valid and accurate results? I would love to start the method using the box of 14 fauna Marin ICP tests...

I've needed to adjust my alkalinity levels manually since making a new mixture with BRS soda ash. The new bag has a 1 1/2 cup to 1 gallon ratio. The older bag was 2 1/3 to 1 gallon. Is there any way I can use a Hanna checker to measure the "strength" of the mixture? Can a certain measurement of...

R2R - Life changes have required that I abandon plans for a new build and tear up my existing system. I have 2 brand new sealed in box Apex Neptune DOS pumps available for $300 each shipped anywhere in the continental USA. These are great for dosing and automated water changes.

Setting up an extra set of tanks in aquarium room and looking for: - higher wattage heaters (heating ~250-300 gallons) - apex head unit, full system, and/or set of related probes, buildout boxes, etc.. - controllable dosing pumps (ideally apex comparable) need to setup 2 part and if I can find...

When dosing sodium carbonate the calculator says to dose slowly, but I’m not sure how slowly. Can this happen over a 1 hour period or a 1 day period? Seems like a small amount and a small move in alk.

I am 3 months into my 32g mixed reef biocube. I was thinking about getting a doser but currently I am dosing in the mornings AFR manually. I anticipate a time where i might need to do more just not sure when that would be but I do see alot of reefers speaking to their dosing regimen albeit I...

I am currently looking into buying a Jebao dosing pump. I also thought about dosing the Red Sea alk, mag, and calcium. What's the best way to know how much to dose? I know the Red Sea app will tell you how much it will cost if you buy their pump but I don't have 430 dollars laying around to buy...

Hi to you all. I am from the UK and have used a 500g tub of sodium nitrate for the last 3-4 years to increase nitrate concentration when needed. That tub did me well, but now it's running out and I need a replacement. Try as I may, none of the companies that offered this for sale are still...

Hi all, I'm trying to move away from AFR powder-based because I realized some elements get consumed faster than others, and as a result, I notice a higher number of certain components. I'm trying to mix all my components, like alkalinity, magnesium, calcium, and trace elements, to adjust my...

Need to start dosing and not sure what would be more beneficial to begin with. LFS says I'm lacking nutrients in my tank and suggested NeoPhos and NeoNitro. Purchased 4 pump doser and need help with what to dose. Corals are not opening to their full potential. I do not like the water test...

Changing my daily Alk dose solution from soda ash to Na-bicarb. Should I double the volume added per day of Na-bicarb? Should I do the same for Ca dose solution? So if I’m currently at 32 mL/day of Soda Ash and Calcium Chloride. Propose to change to 64 mL/day of Na-BiCarb and the same for...

Hey, this algae has coated my entire tank. I’ve a fake rock background on my tank which is also coated with it. I’ve no nitrate or nitrite or ammonia. I’ve changed my AI prime 26hd light to the “David saxby” schedule since, as It might be because I was running my lights too white? I’m wondering...

Hello, I plan on mounting my GHL Doser and KH Director on the wall or on the inside my stand. However, I'm not sure which method of mounting to go with. I saw this GHL mounting faceplate on SaltwaterAquarium.com which caught my attention. However, I can't seem to find a real photo of someone...
