Dosing

[vinccc2009]

I read a lot of reefers do dosing to their tank.

Is it dosing is for SPS tank only?

What's the most common dose addictives used?

3 is a norm or 4 separate units?

Want to know too. Now have plans to get a single channel dosing elevated Kh water that will act as Kh replenishment and top off water.

3 channel:

one for KH

one for mag

one for Strotium

one for KH

one for Strotium

it's more like calcium than stroNtium.

Thanks!

Can briefly tell me the needs for each?

What's the setup timing like?

[reefer guy]

depends on your requirements actually as well as set up. best is if you could drop by Iwarna and speak to Victor, he would be happy to help you and usually they will set it up for you.

Thanks.

I am more of a "try myslef" guy and hope someone can briedfly explain the pros for each addictive and the timing for the setup.

I think a few of the new reefers here will need all these too in a glance under this discussion.

Actually I read somewhere that what to dose depends on what is depleting. So I feel that should measure stuff like Kh, Ca or mag and try to figure what is depleting and dose. For me, I have a depleting Kh, so decided to dose Kh in the top off water via a dosing pump.

You may mix in Fauna Marin's Trace B to be used with Ca & Mg solutions. Then no need to dose trace elements separately. Will be dosed in the right proportions with your solutions.
