5g/ week on my 45 cube. However, I also only did about 5g per week on my larger tanks but they were running with large becketts and my turf scrubber.

Yeah just 5g. It seems to be the perfect amount as my tank responds quite positively. Anything more and it seems to be unhappy.

Turf scrubber = refugium. Usually one filled with Chaeto or some other fast growing, nitrate absorbing macroalgae.
