![]() What's so "Turbo" about it?
I have time again, now, to continue trying to raise my Mg and Ca. My targets are 400 Ca and 1,290 Mg. On March 11th I was at 215 Ca and 1,005 Mg. Okay...well that seemed a little out of ratio to me so I calculated 400/1,290 as is x/1,005. x= 312. Okay....well let's get the Ca up to 312 first, then continue with the Mg and get that to 1,290. Then finish off with Ca to 400. The package says to dose 1/8 teaspoon per 50 gal on a lightly loaded reef tank. Well I know from using it 5-6 weeks ago that 1/8 teaspoon did nothing. So on March 11th I doubled the dose to 1 teaspoon on my 180+25sump=205gal reef.(1/2 tsp/50g)(I know Steve, not actually 205g ![]() The next days reading showed the Ca still at 215. So I doubled it again to 2 teaspoons. (Quadruple the package's recommended dose). The next days reading showed the Ca still at 215. So I added another 2 teaspoon quad dose. Today? You guessed it. Ca 215. "Turbo" my bum. So I have added another 4 teaspoons today. (8x the package's recommended dose!). Tomorrow's reading should show some increase! Anyone else have similiar experiences with this stuff? Oh, wait. It's a Kent product. Maybe they forgot to put calcium in it! ![]() Thanx much and cheers ![]()
