Reef chemistry calculator


Recommended Posts

A lot of people are using dosing pump and do not know how to start. This is the link to a chemistry calculator that one can use to estimate how much to dose, i forget who is the reefer that post this before but it is quite useful to kick start the dosing.

Hope this is helpful. Cheer :cheers:

I think this is quite easy to sort out, once you know the gram of chemical to dose, example 10g of kh. Depending on your mixing, if you mix 100g of kh powder to 1000ml of DI water then you will dose 100ml every day. If the mixing ration is different then just do the math part and you will know roughly how much to dose.

thanks for the great info!

For me myself who don't use dosing pump, I intend to standby a 1L bottle and dose accordingly

Baking it depends on your pH level, if it is low, baking elevates the pH. If it is on the high side, baking is not recommended. The dosing calculator in randy holmes farley's improved 2part solution article gives estimates as to how much increase it will give based on the quantity that will be dosed.
