I use reef code a and b on my 180. I dose alk and calcium, but it makes it easy using them. Equal amounts and calcium is ionically balanced based on alk.
For just alk, my old softie tank was dosed only sea chem reef fusion 2

Using up the last of reef code a & b. I forget which is which. Planning on switching to a powder though. Probably switch to soda ash & calcium chloride. A lot of the moonshiner people use the brightwell 8.3 though.
How did it affect your ph if any? Since skimmer upgrade im swinging into 8.34 territory
Forgot to add. Once you get alk stable, coraline will take off. So you may need calcium in the future.
It doesn’t. Mine sits at a rock solid 8.3-8.4 night and day, respectively. I do dose once an hour over a 24 hour period though.
10 4 I am assuming and expecting that a little. Gives me good enough reason to try a torch as well
Whats wierd is coraline has been growing in tables. Need to check tonight and see where I'm at
Let us know when you do.10 4 I am assuming and expecting that a little. Gives me good enough reason to try a torch as well

I'm dosing 9.5 grams of reef builder every other day to SLOWLY get my alk up to my target of 9.3 which is where my IO RC is mixing to. Will be moving to management when I hit that level.

We go through 48ml of alk daily and our calcium doesn't budge much with weekly 20% wc.
We only dose alk at the moment and on accasion if cal drops before a water change We do 5ml.
@Eagle_Steve is dead on with consumption goes up when Coraline takes off. We scrape the back wall weekly to keep that down....it's all over the floor and rocks tho lol
