I have been dosing Brightwell Calcium and KH using Neptune DOS for months, 18ml each daily. Calcium and KH values used to be (420 and 8.3). Recently I have noticed KH being consumed more thus I increased the KH dose to 23ml. With the increased dose, KH is leveling at 8.

I have researched there is too much information on this topic. Some believe Calcium and KH should be dosed equal parts. Is offset dosing OK?

I have 120g mixed reef. I also notice some of the small SPS colonies is starting to grow.

My parameters are:

Calcium - 420
dkh - 8
Mag - 1450
Nitrate - 5
Phosphate - 0.03
