I currently have a 54 gallon reef. Daily consumption of ask is .5 dkh per day.
I dose 20ml a day of BRS two part. I’m upgrading to a 210 gallon. So my question is, when I transfer corals to the new tank, will my daily alk demand be the same? Seems like with a larger water volume, and more alk/calcium/magnesium by water volume, it would be less. Or am I thinking about things wrong here? I mean the corals and other calcifying things will demand that .5 dkh, but there will be more available, with a greater water volume? Increasing alk by .5 dkh in 240 gallons would be 85.7 ml... I’m just kind of guessing that would be my water volume including sump, rock displacement, etc. I won’t know the true gallons until it’s set up.
Just curious on people’s experiences, when they’ve upgraded on alk demand.
