ok i am dosing about 80 ml of alk a day is this normal? my tank is 120 gallons mostly sps and zoos
seems like 80 ml keeps my kh at 8
is this normal ?to use this much
i am using bulk reef supply two part
 
I'm not sure I dont dose I have reactors but I know my SPS/ LPS tank would drop 1 - 1 1/2 points a day with out dosing.
 
240 ml of calcium
280 ml of alk

this is on a 120 gallon system with lots of SPS and LPS
 
wow mine goes from 9 to 7 in 24 hours going to order a dosing pump and try to keep it at 8 with the dosing pump
 
In my 200, predominately SPS, I dose 4.5 oz of Alk/day and 3 oz of Calcium/day.
