I am sure this has been discussed before, but I wanted to get a pole of the Kalkwasser users...
Are you more concerned about PH stability and letting the Alk swing more by dosing only at night, Alk stability and causing an elevated PH during the day by dosing only during the day, or do you just dose it every hour to make sure neither have a larger swing?
I currently dose mine 24/7 (every hour), but have considered dosing only right before my lights turn on and during the day to keep PH elevated during the growth time of the corals and making my Alk stable.
Have you tested multiples and seen a different Alk consumption/coloration/growth? What is the max Alk and PH swing or peak you allow on your tank? Also, feel free to include your average range of parameters and what corals you keep since that probably determines a lot.
