If you already have an apex, get a trident. It measures alk, ca, and MG as many times a day as you want. When your alk is stable, it provides a great heartbeat for the tank. I can look at the ups and downs and compare to previous days, and if corals are comsuming more or less alk based on any changes I made. Pretty awesome and I'd never run a tank without a trident now.

2 dos units one for two part the other for nutrients.

Oh, @ryshark I also have 2 dos units, but I run All-For-Reef as a 1-part and LOVE IT compared to 2 part. I was having really bad precipitation issues with 2 part. SO:
4 dosing heads:
all-for reef
kalkwasser at night for a pH boost
neonitro
neophos

In a big volume tank I'd probably trust manual, but things can change SO quickly in my little 70 gallons that I like the automation - and - ive never had terrible readings other than that one time I did a water change during a test, and the intake line got clogged with crap - whoops

And for the record, you need to be pretty specific with your answers. For instance, “bird” or “frog” will not be accepted. What kind of bird or frog is it?

Bird with two legs. Frog that hops

usually about 17-19 mLs daily for 70 gallons, but I lower it when alk consumption is less - I bombed the tank with reef flux for algae a few weeks back and the alk consumption is just starting to creep back up

are you part of the AFR Gang?

 

[billyocean]

That's not too much. Most people I see are like 100ish ml a day afr. I'm 35 alk, 15 calcium red sea..dose about 20 ml of mag every few days.

I've thought about it but it's kind of a go with what's working situation ya know. No skimmer, no kalk, no calcium reactor...stuff just grows.

I do have an APEX already. I should really buy one before the long vacation I have coming up.
