So I have a 2lb tub of kent coral builder. But there's no calculator for this product and no #s for me to compare to another product for dosing.

Any help on numbers please

Coral Builder

Stabilizes pH in Marine Aquariums

KENT MARINE CORAL BUILDER raises alkalinity, stabilizes pH, and prevents pH drop. Under normal circumstances will not increase pH and is formulated to have minimal impact on calcium, magnesium, or strontium levels. Borate free.

Directions
Balance the reef aquarium water to an 8.0 to 8.3 pH. • Dissolve one teaspoon of KENT Marine Coral Builder in a glass of freshwater • Add directly to tank or sump for each 40 gallons (160 liters) of tank capacity each day until the desired alkalinity (carbonate hardness or KH) is reached • Wait 1 hour to re-measure alkalinity • After target alkalinity is reached, use ½ teaspoon per 40 gallons (160 liters) twice weekly, to maintain values. • Measure alkalinity and adjust when necessary.

KENT Marine Coral Builder will not raise pH. If pH is low, use KENT Marine pH Control Plus until desired pH is reached, then switch back to this product.

If you are having trouble maintaining calcium or buffer levels, check to see that the salt mix you are using contains natural seawater levels of magnesium. Magnesium is necessary and low levels result in poor calcium solubility and buffering.

Use KENT Marine Kalkwasser, KENT Marine Liquid Calcium, KENT Marine Liquid Calcium Reactor, or KENT Marine Turbo-Calcium to build and maintain calcium levels in marine and reef systems.

Thank you but I'm looking to find how much 1 tsp will raise 40g.

No worries though I'm adding now and taking measurements to find out

Ok

So I tested added let mix in DT for 6 hours then test again

I started at

6.5 dkh =. 2.32 meq/l

Added 1 tsp of coral builder

Ended up with

8 dkh = 2.85 meq/l.

1 tsp raised 42g 1.5dkh = .53 meq/l tested with Elos

Seachem reef builder calc says 1.2 tsp at 42g to reach that alk so fairly spot on for me
