I finally got myself a dosing pump for alk and calc after manually dosing whenever it was convenient. When I was manually dosing I was able to get my alk up into the mid 9s which is what I am shooting for . Finally starting to get Coraline to grow and the rock is starting to look a lot better. I dont think i have any real demanding corals yet, small acan colony, 11 headed hammer, 3 headed torch, gsp, palys, and some shrooms.
So when I got my dosing pump I stopped dosing for a week or so and held off on my water changes to figure out my consumption. I started out at 25ml per day and it was still dropping. I upped it to 50 ml and it brought it up to a little over 8 but then it started to drop again over the last few days. Is this normal? Could it be because the coralline is finally able to grow and consume the alk? I attached a shot from my inputs on my fusion. BTW I am using Randy's recipe 1.
