Additives Dosing

[John Deroe Kenedy]

I bought quite a number or additives from Henry (ML). Such a help full guy.

I wonder is my dosing are correct as my tank is 2x1x1.5. Please assist. It better to ask than to fail.

All this dose are base on estimate 50L of water (13.2G). Dose are slightly lesser so as not to overdose.

Brightwell Products:

alk 8.3 - dose 2 ml daily, get range 10 - 12dkh, dose weekly to maintain

ph+ - 2 ml everyday until ph is attained but need alk to be in range 7-12dkh. Repeat as needed

calcion - 1 ml every other day (2days) or as needed

magnesium - 2.5ml every other day (2days) or as needed

strontium - 2.5ml evey other day (2days) or as needed

Iodion - 2 drops every 2 - 3 days

Replenish - 5 drops every other day (2days)

Other Products

Goodbye PO4 - 0.5ml every week to maintain PO4

Coraline Simulator - 13 drops 2 times per week or lesser depending on results

Dose only what you can measure, that's what they say. It's true, e.g if you have high magnesium from your salt mix and your ls is not depleting them, they may accumulate to non tolerable levels.

For the first six months in my tank, ca has always been at levels of 500ppm and never drops. However with the recent addition of some sps colonies, ca have been dropping rapidly, forcing me to add ca supplement.
