Another Newbie Question

[e46er]

the amount of calcium and alk you need to dose depends on your coral load

softies dont use much LPS use more SPS use lots and clams use TONES (apparently -Ive never had a clam)

I use dry chemicals for dosing I did the daily hand measure and dose but that got old REAL quick so I invested in an automatic doser worth every penny - my favorite upgrade Ive done

never use Kalk or a Ca reactor but from my planted tank days refilling CO2 gets to become a pain in the ass So thats why i went the dosing pumps route

takes me in total about 15 min a month to make up new solutions.

heres a good read on dosing
