Hello so I've had my dosers on my 90 sps tank for a week. I have 2 brs 1.1 ml dosers for soda ash (alk) and calcium chloride (calcium part)
I do weekly %10 water changes.
Params are
1.026 salt
Temp 79-81 with a chiller
Mag always 1350
Calcium at 420
Alk 7.7 dkh
Mainly sps with a 3 inch derisa clam
Do I need to try and dose evenly I'm uo to 80 ml of alk and still won't raise above a 7.7 salifert test kit
I dose 65 ml of calcium and it stays at 420 the more I dose. For both they still stay even api test kit... I have a salifert but...
1. Will salifert ca test still be fine to use after the third part thaws out?
2. Do I need to dose evenly for the calcium and alk or is it common to dose more alk than calcium?
3. I dose from 20:00 until 10:00 via apex and brs dosers should I be dosing all day instead? I dose during the night to keep my ph swings from getting lower than a 7.8.
