A drop of 1dKh/day is consistent with what I would expect from your description of your system. I am getting 1-2 dKh drop/day in all of my tanks. I dose about 750ml of dKh/day total between all of them to keep up. Once you determine how much Ca and Mg you need to add for every 1 dKh, you can just test dKh and add the appropriate ratio of each. Then it's just a matter of testing for the others much less often.

I thought I would go away without dosing but I guess I proved that one can "overstock" corals too :P
My corals are growing like crazy and I wouldn't mind some slow growth :P I just need the colors.
Thanks for typing that detailed reply with iphone. Typing in such "small" screen can be tough....you might want to move to something "bigger" Galaxy Note perhaps? |
