Heavily stocked 125. 200 ml of BRS soda ash and calcium chloride solutions daily on an autodoser. It gets 12 doses of each daily on opposing hours. I dose mag manually as needed.

All for Reef is super expensive at that high of a dose, right?
Yes. However less so if you use the "make it yourself formula" than buying it in liquid form. Next project is to combine it with 2 part once I determine the rate of consumption of other trace elements. Consumption of CA has gone way up also so will take awhile to figure it all out.

200g system I'm losing around 1.2dhk per day if not a little more due to times I check it, I usually check before lights on and when lights go off but it's not always 100% accurate with a Hanna checker.

I'm up to 150ml/ day was at 110 but using a dos the value continually rises. Have a 220 gallon display, 40 gallon frag tank, 20 gallon refugium, 70 gallon sump, figure roughly a 310 gallon system.
