Dosing Calcium, Alk and Mag

[FishNFrags]

Ok I just want to hear some thoughts on what you guys dose together or separate times day or night. Like say would you dose all three at once during night? or Cal/Mag together at night and Alk during day? Would you dose mag first and then calcium? or does it matter? I use Two part for dosing so that's what I'm interested in hearing about. I'm not interested in the max you can raise levels in a 24hour period. Just what you have found to be best way and times to dose.

I usually do mag first to keep the others from precipitating and separate the calc and alk by as much time as I can, few hours to day/night time.

You cannot dose all at once. They will react chemically to each other and basically cancel each other out. Especially Cal and Alk.

I dont ever dose Mag, my water changes seem to keep up that demand.

I dose my Calcium 9 times a day from 9am to 6pm and Then I dose my Alk 9 times a day from 9pm til 6am. Dosing ALK at night will help maintain your ph when the lights go off.
