I just bought two 500ml bottles from Amazon last night.

Ok so I have an 80 gallon shallow reef tank. How much should I dose? I will be using a Profilux dosing pump and I don't wanna over do it.

Thanks for the replies guys!

Dose 5ml per 25 gallons once per week, so 16ml per week or 2.2ml per day.

As Tradewinds said. but better is per day.
Start with 2ml during the day time/lights on period.
We all know stability is the key here.

Ok
So I guess I will simply dose 1 ml in the morning (@ 10 am) and then dose 1 ml in the evening (@ 5 pm). And do this every day.

Does this sound like a good dosing schedule?

Lights need to be on, not just a little but as in midday.
Corals won't intake AA during lights off or moonlight effects.
My doser comes on at 2pm when light are on the highest schedule.
Before I dosed when I got home at 3:30.
A doser is so much better, set and forget.

Ok thanks for the advice.

Would it be best two dose in two waves. Ex. At 2 pm (1 ml) and at 4 pm (1 ml)??? This way AA would be dosed with lights on at full intensity.

I mean "would it be best to dose ......

I'm dosing the full amount for the day one time.
I think it would work, with your schedule, try and we'll see.
If the effects are better than you got something on your hands.

My order should get here by Wednesday. I will start this dosing schedule and post before and after pics in one month's time. My logic for stability is an evenly dosed product over time. That goes for Ca, Alk, Mg, etc.

You right on track my friend.
Make sure that stability means that the # ALK, CAL, MAG, K and PO4 are close to the same each time you check.
Doesn't mean that you have to dose the same amount constantly, it might vary.
Check and test often and get to know your tank.
When I walk up I can tell in 1 min if something is wrong or not on my tank, just looking at some of the corals.

I totally agree. I test and log often.

Like you said, a simple observation can tell you if something might be wrong or if it's getting better.

My anemone seems to have expanded more since dosing AcroPower. Could there be any correlation between this stuff and happier anemones?
Has anyone else experienced this or is it just in my head?

 

[Diesel]

Some view down pics, not a hero in pictures but these were the first view downs I ever made.
As you see some glare from my Pro's, really in need of a macro so I can get closer and get away with the glare.
Enjoy!
