Hello,
I'm quite new to this hobby and dosing so please bear with me if the answers to my questions are too obvious. I have a red sea 250, with mostly sps frags. I'm facing a drop in alk of around 1.5 dkh per week, and 30-40 ppm of calcium in same period (if my testing with hanna is correct). My alk is normally stable at 8 dkh and i would like to have my calcium at around 440 ppm. I have used around 35 ml red sea alk/kh liquid per week, mixing it into ATO (weekly evaporation is around 17 liters). My question is how to dose my red sea calcium liquid, according to my numbers i should compensate my weekly loss by around 35-45 ml. As i understand i should avoid dosing at the same time, but can i dose calcium directly into display or sump, like 2,5 ml morning and evening? Thanks for help,
