I've been dosing my 5g with 2-part for the last month and it's pretty steady at 0.4 dKH loss per day. So, I dose Fusion 1&2 nightly but I'm worried that doing it all at once is stressing. Plus sometimes I forget. So I'm trying All-For-Reef and got a pump. Problem is not much is happening and I'm dropping alk. I usually run around 8.3-8.5 and now I'm at 7.6 and will probably be 7.4 tonight. TM recommends a staring dose of 0.85 for 4.5g (I did the math), but after 72hrs I'm still dropping.
First question, should I dose 2-part to try to hold alk steady @ 7.8dKH or will doing so slingshot my levels once there is enough bacteria to break down the AFR?
Second question, how long does it take AFR to actually start working?
Third question, TM says the max I can dose for this size tank is 3mL per day. I'm dropping 0.4dKH now. Does this mean that AFR may not be enough?
