I have a 55 gallon with many frags, a couple of small colonies,2 mid sized clams, & I'm @ 57 ml of each per day. I was surprised when I first found this kept my paras. stable for a week. It's reassuring to see others having the same questions.

Lance how much of each do you mix up with a gallon of RO?

2.5 cups of calcium chloride and 2 cups of soda ash dosed via Drew's Dosers.

Ya that's pretty much the standard RHF recipe. I guess you just have healthy corals with good uptake. I don't personally dose 2 part, I just use it if I need to tweak things so I can't give you a comparison. I am a kalk guy for the time being until my corals get big enough that kalk isn't enough and then I will have to decide either reactor or 2 part.

Yeah, I've been considering getting a reactor.
