I am relatively new to reefing. I have had my 75 gal tank right at one year. I now have a handful of coral in the tank. Leathers, zoas, mushrooms and LPS. The leathers (2) are big, zoas have a pretty good colony going now. I bought some Red Sea supplement liquid, and have been dosing manually. I'm trying to keep the Alkalinity at around 8, but it is dropping to 7.3 to 7.5 almost daily. I am putting 15 to 20ml of Alk supp in the sump very slowly almost every night. I just pour a little bit at a time in between the last baffles prior to the return pump. Ca and Mg are holding pretty steady at 380 and 1280. When I dose Ca and Mg, I do the same thing by slowly pouring the liquid supp into the sump. I've not noticed any precipitation.
I have read the "two part" articles, and just can't seem to grasp that concept. I'm still intimidated by the whole dosing process. Am I doing it right?
