I only dosed Mg for a bit to try to kill some algae, and that went sideways
I have dosed Alk only twice since May as it was below 7

I haven't been dosing to play with #s and will not be dosing anytime soon

Oh, right. That's Shelley. You're the sideways bottle tester. Got it -lol

But all this is applicable to both of you, and anyone else overwhelmed with all the math and the measuring and stuff. Just back it up a bit and relax!!

OMG, I think I just peed a bit

And another 'for the record' ...
I used to test with the bottles slanted, but I always drink with the bottle facing the stars

I used Instant Ocena since 2002 and this year I bought 3 pails of Reef Cystals and its nice not much dosing going on for me and i have a RSM 250 lps and SPS and i barely test. i have a test kit from 2009 its in the box still.
I dont test for PH if its 7.8 or 7.9 then so be it. I drip kalk from my Barr Aquatics Stirrer its always going at a drip rate of 1 drip evey 4-6 seconds that is how much i evaporate. NOT MUCH. however i try to do 15 gallons every week or 10 gal. if I dont i dont sweat it.

Alk i test maybe 1x every 2 months cal ya whatever.
