his receipe has like 5300 DKH in the gallon if memory serves your tank was going through that much seriously???



anyways mine last about 35 days and i seem to always have about 150 ml of calcium left when the alk is empty dont know why the dosers are the same and timing the same and levels stay constant but it works

funnily enough tho i read that RHF doesnt dose his 2 part recipe. He uses Kalkwasser. That is also what i use for my tank and i find it even easyer than 2 part dosing.

I found that when I was using baking soda I needed to add nearly double the amount than calcium. When I switched back to 'reef ready' stuff like Coral Grow's alk additive it went back to being nearly 50/50.

Dosing only complicated if you do it wrong and all your pumps fail from precipitation in the span of a week. oops.
