hmm,
why am I using so much, baking soda 590gr/gallon mix in 5 gallon can (3 gallon mixed up at a time), I dose about 620 ml a day – spread out over 8 dosing's Calcium: I was mixing 500 gr/gal mix in 5 gal can (3 gallon mix at a time) dosed about 610 ml a day – spread over 8 dosing’s but Calcium was rising and had lots of precipitation, so went with 20% less calcium at the same gallon and dose the same ml at this time I changed and went lower on calcium yesterday so have to se upcoming week – weeks to find out if this is better I have about 400 gallons of water in my system, 70% SPS and 30% LPS tank is about 2 years, SPS corals are medium size

for DIY solutions, from the way this post is going, seems the values on the table a little shy of real world

I gust use the standard recipe: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/20...hf/index.php#5 I do feel I use alot as well, but I dont know, it is what it is I think, thats why it is interesting to se what others use. I think I'm about 2x as much as others, and I even find that I defenatly dont have a over crouded SPS tank i do have everything covered in nice purple coral. algea I do a 40 gal water change each 2 weeks now, and when mixing new salt I bring the Cal up to 450 and the mag to 1400 by adding some calcium chloride and 5 to 3 magnesium mix Last edited by KevinK; 08-10-2011 at 11:50 PM.
