This is kind of a two part 2-part post. First is there ever a time where you are dosing too much 2-part? and the second is I feel like my tank is consuming too much likely due to excess abiotic precipitation/consumption, any thoughts on how I may reduce abiotic consumption?
57g mixed reef with small and moderate size frags, definitely not heavily stocked with corals
Dosing BRS 2-part with neptune DOS
6 hour intervals of alternating alkalinity and calcium
Current daily dosing is 156 mls of each calcium and alkalinity using @Randy Holmes-Farley recipe
Alk 7 - 8.5
Ca 420 - 480
Mg 1250 - 1350
pH 8.1 - 8.3
Do water changes every 10 days with RedSea Coral Pro
Sg 1.026 to up to 1.027 when i do a water change (part of my question of when is too much 2-part)
Nitrate 1
Phos 0.04
I notice a frustrating amount of clumping of the sand, it is CaribSea Arag alive
also a good amount of precipitation on the heater
That being said the consumption went up from approximately 100 mls of each per day to its current levels and it corresponded with adding more corals and better coral growth
