I need assistance on the dosing recommendations from my most recent ICP test. How does the dosing actually break down? For example the Calcium recommended dose says 123.6ml. Then it says to divide into 3 portions (doses) @41.27ml. Does this mean to does this amount daily? Or spread out the doses through the week until you reach 123.6 ml?

Thanks all!

The divided value would be your daily dose. so 3 doses of CA at 41.27 spread over 3 days will give you the recommended dose of 123.8. They spread the larger doses across multiple smaller doses to give your tank a chance to adjust without swinging parameters too quickly.
