Hey everybody,
I'm dosing All For Reef for Ca and Alk. My tank's recommended starting dose is 16mL daily for the given volume. The tank has many euphillia coral and a few SPS. Ca is 400->380, the daily change by 20ppm is probably test error. Alkalinity however is rising 0.1-0.2 dKH daily per Hanna checker without much movement in bringing Ca to a balanced number.
I'm dosing half the recommended AFR, currently 7.5mL per day. I dose in the morning. If anybody has further feedback let me know! I can decrease AFR until I find that it's stable at 8.0 dKH and use 2-part Ca solution to supplement. Let me know if I should be doing anything else. I think the corals love this supplement, but I'm looking for its stability in the numbers. My tank's alk consumption must be considerably low to be bumping my numbers with such a trivial dose, and I'm guessing that's why my Ca has a hard time keeping up given the lack of volume for the Ca component.
Thanks!!
