So, I got sucked in to the latest BRS promo and I bought some Red Sea Trace ABCD, which I really don't need for my nano tank. However, I have it now and I'm trying to see if I can/want to use it. The directions say that you can dose by calcium uptake, at 1ml per 20ppm calcium added per 100 litres (25gal).
The trouble I am having is that I am currently dosing Kalk and Baking Soda, so I am trying to work out what my calcium consumption is and how much of this stuff to add.
My numbers are as follows:
Water volume - 11 gal (that is what I have been working on for my Alk calculations)
Kalk dosing - 48ml per day
Baking soda dosing - 3ml per day
This seems to be holding my Alk stable at 8.5
Any help here would be appreciated. I am aware that the answer is going to be a ridiculously tiny amount (and probably not actually worth it in practice) but I'd be interested in the calculation process nonetheless. I've tried the reef calculator and the Red Sea wizard but I keep getting different results.
