How many ml's of Red Sea A & B do you dose per day?

Thanks, Freddie

Hi Freddie

My current dosing is as follows but I’m at about 50% of the normal A (calcium) dose because when I tested a few weeks ago it was at about 485 (water change messed it up I think) so I halved the dose until it dropped. I don’t dose Mg at all as it’s always high and currently 1600! Off the scale infact I’ve stopped testing it for the time being. I can only assume it’s from the salt or test error. But it’s always been high.

The Alkalinity B is always a lot more liquid do to the dilution of it. Just remember I use powder made into solution so it depends what your using and dilution ratios

Thank you @Janci for your kind comments!

I did research on ‘modern aquascaping’ while waiting for delivery and this was the result. Well my version anyway! Lol

The fish can swim all around as it doesn’t touch the glass anywhere.

The Trigger fish have been digging a nest in the middle of my tank again.

As you can see the female has been getting really stuck in and has the battle scars to prove it!

Shaun,
Your S-650 is beautiful and the "excellence" is well deserved.

We've known each other for an fairly long time. I do miss the days with Kevin Davies and that forum.

But... You are a true friend, and so glad that we found Reef 2 Reef.

The Red Sea section doesn’t seem to get the interest it used to get on the other forum. Red Sea and especially Kevin seemed to be much more active

We will have to see if we can get a bit more interest going. Even the S Series thread stalled !

This is one of the very first fish I every purchased for my original Max E260 so I’ve had him for over 2 years now.

Originally they were a pair but the partner disappeared into the depths a few months ago.
