Trident Controlled Two Part dosing

[sradosevich]

Please forgive me if this has been asked previously. I am new to dosing two part. I am using ESV and controlling it with my Trident via my Apex.

My question is this... Everything I learned about two part says add in equal amounts and focus on Alkalinity, not so much Calcium. The Trident dosing is chasing the numbers... Currently adding more Alkalinity and less Calcium... Not a 1 to 1 ratio. Is this something to be concerned with?

TIA!

Under ideal circumstances, 1:1 should work fine. But there are other factors that can throw it off, and there's no problem dosing more or less of one of the additives. My Trident is adjusting things daily and keeping it stable.

This is probably more info than you'll ever need, but see this article: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-12/rhf/index.htm
