Manganese Dosing

[jrp1588]

I've read through a number of threads suggesting different recipes for manganese solutions, but how do I determine the dosage? I do monthly ICP tests, and they ALWAYS come back 0, and it looks like the test kits available don't test down to the natural sea water range.

It’s safe to dose NSW levels twice a week. It depletes pretty rapidly.

Which ICP company did you use?

I organized all the Manganese recipes in one thread. They have dosages for NSW.

Sweet, thanks. I've been using ATI for ICP and spot correcting from there, but as you said, I've heard manganese gets used or broken down in the system within hours.
