I am looking at using Redsea Reef Energy AB+. So I have a 20 Cube tank that i have worked out is 19 Gallons. The instructions on the AB+ bottle say 4ml per 15 gallons daily. So that works out to just over 3 ml per day in my system. BUT..... The Redsea Wizard on their website says .7ml per day?

Which is correct. What are other folks dosing with success?

I dose double what they recommend daily and have no issues with parameters. Been doing it now for 3 months. I dont think your exact measurement really matters that much personally.

A lot will depend on the nutrient levels in the tank, my nitrate levels area round 25 so I only use reef energy and reef roids every few weeks/month or longer. You don’t need to use it every day, I certainly don’t anyway and have 2 full blown reef tanks.

If your running near zero nutrient levels then you will need to use it more often.

Do you manually dose or have it through a dosing pump?
I manually dose as it can only be unrefrigerated for a week at a time. I dont want to deal with the hassle of cleaning the dosing pump, dispensing bottle, and hoses every week. Also I run a ultra Low Range nutrient tank. I actually have to dose nitrates to keep them up as well.

What do you use to dose nitrates?
