Hello,
I'm trying to understand a bit more how dosing and element consumption works. My tank currently has about 7 corals and my calcium and magnesium stay relatively constant at 420-450 PPM Ca, and 1500-1600 Mg. I do water changes weekly and maybe this is why I see no fluctuations. But shouldn't the corals be consuming the Ca and Mg? Is there a rule of thumb for number of corals vs dosing requirements? What is the consumption rate of corals?
Any insights would be appreciated!
