3 Ft Tank

[hwcheong]

Hi,

Is anyone know for 3 ft tank, how much should I drop per day if I am using Sera KH in order to increase the KH figure?

Pls provide a more detailed headin. U r most probably to receive a waring "tick tock" soon.

First determine ur KH level then follow accordingly to the dosing instruction on how much to dose. If unsure and ur KH level is in acceptable range 8-14dkh, then dun dose any. Else dose the minimal amt and test and dose accordingly till u get the level u want.

I using AZOO test kit.. KH is 5 drop now.

So from the instruction mentioned every 40L with 5ml. So 3 ft tank I drop abt 20ml into the tank. But after drop 2-3 days . I measure the KH, it's still around 5-6 drop. So it seems like doesn't increase mah.

Wat is 5-6drops? 5-6drops = 5-6dkh?

Anyway, get a reputable KH test kit (salifert..) and test ur KH readin again. Also do a test on ur pH and calcium coz they r interlink.

If u still get 5 or 6dkh reading, then dose the Sera addictive u mentioned (provided ur Ca and pH are in acceptable range) until u get the alkalinity level u want to obtain. If u r unable to do so, go for the reefez Alkalinity Plus http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12185 it shd have no prob in helpin u to increase the dkh.

Now if u r unable to up ur dkh due to water imbalance (Ca or pH screw up and thus affectin ur KH). Performin water change would help u set ur water back into the proper condition and this may have to be dn quite frequently till u obtain the proper water parameters. Do a 30% water change first and see how is ur Ca, Kh and ph reading is. If only one of it is off then juz do the necessary adjustment with the help of addictives (reefez calcium for Ca, reefez alkalinity plus for dkh or seachem reef buffer for pH adjustment). Hope the abv info helps
