Dosing redsea kh/alk B how much

[PeterEde]

Instructions are vague

My tank is calculated at 120 liters/30gal
My dhk is measured at 7
PH measured at 8.3

The bottle I think says add 43ml.
Is that spread over a week.
So 6ml a day for 7 days until I reach my target of 8 dkh?

Thanks

I'd spread it over a week, yes. I'm not sure how much alkalinity you consume daily, so you may want to add a few extra ml every day to compensate. You probably don't need to test daily, but I'd probably test alkalinity every 2-3 days.

Alk is a simple test atleast
I think 1dkh per day is ok to increase?
So can go a ml higher dose

This is one part of a two part. It is important that it is dosed with it's compliment.

You may also find that it won't raise your alk in a way that you expect if you dose it as a one part. If you decide to do this then it is really important that you water change to achieve balance.

All of what's said sounds sound.
I'd test your water. Wait 24hrs. Test again. This will be about your daily consumption.
I like to individual dose brs product.
Alk. Cal. And mag.

I was dosing 20ml daily of seachem marine Buffer.
That held ph at 8.3 never went above while dkh would rise until I had it at 10.
I'll aim for 8 - 9 dkh.

I aim for 8 or 9 too.
Less stony corals no problems. Lol

Only software and LPS. Until I got control of nitrates. At 38ppm
Dosing nopox for that now. No increase over yesterday which was a good sign already

No, you do not want it higher.
