its always a pain when starting a dosing regime as to how much of each diluted chemical to add to your specific tank and the answer is simply what Cuz said

I just picked a dilution ratio and stuck to it, then tested every 2 days to see if i had to increase or decrease the amount being dosed/dose depending on what my tank was consuming in the 2 day period.
Only thing i wished I new at first was to start with mag, once its at a good level it won't likely need much help staying there. Then its easier to balnce the teater totter of the Ca and Alk..
Just my two cents..
If you are asking for chemical addition to your 1 gallon of RO water try what I have here caco3reef.bulk-chemicals and go read up under each chemical I have as there are recipes.But to be honest you are using chemicals that is I believe 1 to 1.5 years old and from what I heard from some Canreefers (its not the best...) and after you are finished with these chemicals and start with a different type your recipe will need to go through a little changes as not all chemicals have the same concentration.Hope that helps getting things started...

I'm still working through his batch of magnesium mix(I went a little nuts on the order as he was shutting down and I didn't know where else to get it, so I have a ton!) and its totally fine.
