So I've reached a point in my tank's journey where I am starting to need to dose magnesium and calcium. Previously, I've already been dosing alkalinity and doing more and more water changes. I used to do up to 30% weekly, but I'm trying to cut that down to 10% weekly or bi-weekly, and therefore will need to supplement more.
So, here's what I'm thinking of doing.
Test for my parameters on day 1. Dose nothing for the rest of the week. Test again on day 7, check what the drops are in all three are, throw them in an online calculator to get them back to where it was on day 1, get all 3 amounts and divide by 7 for the daily dosing needs.
Anything I'm missing?
I got the brightwell additives, btw. Alkalin8.3, calcion and magnesion... Anything to keep in mind, like dosing them at least x amount of minutes/hours apart or something?
