Right! I may be crazy, but I ain't THAT crazy! :lol:

It would be a 6-pager for sure... :confused:

How often does everyone dose this?

I dose mine once or twice a week, but I have only softies, zoos, shrooms & a few LPS. If you want good coraline growth or have SPS, more frequently for sure, maybe even daily.

Liquid Reactor contains no Bromine and no Chlorides, pH is 7 @25C. MSDS safety sheet says it's Calcium Carbonate and water.

Ryan,
I was told to find out the depleation rate of my reef so I had to get the levels up to 440ppm, then test everyday for a week. At the end of the week I was able to figure out my rate. I was loosing 20ppm per day and because LR would increase the Ca levels by 33ppm per 1ml I simply add 3ml to my top off water every 3-4 days.
I was told to do this as LR is pretty strong stuff so one should not be overdosing or simply squirting in a bunch of drops here and there.
I'm really happy with the results so far, my levels have stablized at 420ppm and all my SPS have seen very positive effects with increased polyp extension and growth rates. The only downside is that it clouds up the water for an hour or two so I try to dose in late evening or early morning.

Thanks Rich. That helps big time!! :biggrin:

FWIW when you get to the bottom of the liquid reactor and you still have a bunch of solid on the bottom, you can refill with fresh RODI, shake and your good to go again. It may not be as strong as before, so you may need to add more than you were adding before to maintain levels.
As far as BA goes. In BC, at least, they are the worst. Poor service, high prices, unknowledgeable staff and on many a ocaasion, verry rude. Why bother going there to try to get them to price match. It's not worth the hassle. There are plenty of stores in BC and on the net, that beat them in every way, IMHO

oh oh, i hope justin dosent read this, he will rip your a new one! :razz:

J&L has it

I'm curious about what people are paying for LR online at various stores?

After reading the article Alan pointed out I've realized where adding to much baking:washing soda (CaCO2:CaCo)buffer can hurt you. When My alk problem was happening I did notice that some of the aragonite was hardening into a brittle or crystalized surface. This surface attracts Ca and Mg out of the water which expaines my low Ca levels.

I finally got my LR and even though I've only used it twice my livestock looks much healthier than before.
