Ok i have dosed my tank to bring up my Alk from 8 dkh to 8.6dkh. I like this range because all corals look their best to me. Now that i have accomplished that i will start dosing BRS 2 part because i also have my Calcium where i want it.
So i have been testing Alk everyday since i raised it to 8.6 to get a baseline of how much Alk my tank uses in 1 day but finding this hard to do and here is why.
Sunday- Raised Alk to 8.6. Monday Tested Alk-8.6 Tuesday Alk-8.7 Wednesday Alk 8.6 and Thursday Alk-8.7. With these readings it is virtually impossible to see what my consumption of ALK is.
When i test i use the same equipment for each test. Use a timer so i'm doing everything within the sametime. I clean everything good with RODI water when tests are complete. Not really sure how i'm going to dose without knowing what my tank uses.
I very much doubt one day miraculously their is 1 dkh more of Alk without dosing it.
