Few alk questions

[beardedman11]

Starting to figure out dosing watched a few videos from BRS and others on YouTube but just double check and making sure doing it right. lol
First question is when looking at the reef calculator online which one would you pick for reef pro part B?

NeXT question here’s my chart for this week starting on Sunday.

Haven’t dosed a lot yet just testing the water but I need to get my alk up to 8/8.5 where I want to try and keep it and wait 3-4 days to see how much the alk drops and then divide alk lose/days to see how much I need to dose and set the doser up with that correct. Thanks for any advice.

I would not assume any entry on a calculator matches any alk supplement with a different name.

What does the supplement say in terms of its potency?

1 Milliliter of Reef Pro Complete Part B will raise the alkalinity by 30PPM= 1.7 DKH (0.6meq/l) per 1 US Gallon.

Forgot to say the tank is a reefer 170 so about 35-40g after rock and sand and what not.

OK, so use the calculator below and the entry for Randy's Recipe 1, then divide the amount needed by 1.2. :)
