dosing

Anyone dose af life source on a weekly basis? Heard it’s good for cyano and bio diversity… Cheers

Hi. Im planning to add SPS corals to my tank soon. Ive come to realise after some researching that I need to ensure my Alk, Calcium and Magnesium should be on point. For now, I only have and Alk tester which reads around 7 before a water change and at 8dkh after a water change. People say that...

Hi. As the titles says, how would you guys dose potassium nitrate to raise nitrate levels? I am currently having a situation here, after some research Ive found out that my tank is "nitrate locked". I have 0/undetectable nitrates and 0.5 phosphates, which is high. Im planning to add SPS soon so...

So I setup the BM-T11 to dose Alk, Calc, and NOPOX a few months ago. Hoping to dose trace elements etc. by adding a BM-T12 Slave in the future, but I need to resolve this issue before I dedicate more money to dosing. I have to re-prime the lines every 2-3 days due to air getting in. I added...

After a while you will end up dosing alkalinity, magnesium, calcium and other minerals corals use to build their skeleton. Most of us will employ a doser to do this job but how to spread out the doses throughout the day? Some just do it equal portions in the 24 hours but it would make...

Established tank, but recently switched from Tropic Marin Balling Method to All for Reef. Change was made about a month ago, and at the time my calcium was around 460ppm. Since dosing the A4R (36ml/day), my calcium just came back from ICP at 547ppm! Mag is at 1417ppm. Alkalinity is stable at...

Hi reefers, My 50G has been doing great with just a walling hammer coral and a small mushroom frag. Hammer was doing well & I was able to replenish whatever trace elements it needed with weekly water changes. I decided to add some more coral and recently purchased a Torch and a Duncan. Since...

I'm a relative newbie to dosing and I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can but with limited time to read up on it, I can't make an informed decision on my own right now. I've been dosing with baked baking soda and calcium chloride but I'd like to try Tropic Marin's Carbocalcium because it...

okay r2r got a question for everyone. I’m a fairly well versed and experienced reefer at the age of 27 currently been in the hobby for 12 years. Most everything I’ve learned (like most others) has been through trial and error and research. currently my tank is an all acro 75 gallon reef tank...

Hey y’all, I’ve been battling dinos for a solid month and a half, and they started due to an imbalance in nitrates and phosphates. I had moderate levels of nitrates while having undetectable phosphates. This imbalance arises because I did not think to dose nutrients during a fallow period...

I was wondering, do you need to add some kind of movement to the liquid in dosing containers? Like an air-stone? I was just thinking after time maybe things separate and so could be dosing concentrated amounts.

I am getting confused and concerned by how much calc and alk I am dosing since dumping 4 bottles of Coralline spores from Atlantic Reef Conservatory last month. Looking for some input and thoughts please. Here's the story. I started a new 400 gal tank on May 7th. Felt it was fairly well...

75 Gallon water volume with sump, Not seeing any precipitation or anything my alk dropped from 9.1dkh to 8.6dkh in 3 days and the brs calculator recommends dosing 21.4ml of brs liquid soda ash to get back to 9.1dkh which would be 7.13ml per day to keep it stable, but on the other hand I’m thrown...

i’ve been in the hobby for a while but have never touched a calcium reactor do i test more regularly for my calcium and alk or not?

is this going to dose like this every day or no im hoping it starts at midnight and ends a minute before midnight can anyone tell me if this is gonna work it’s a kamoer x1 pro

Hi everyone, I recently installed an apex system on my tank, I have the dosing pump as well it just hasn't been installed yet. I initially set the unit up about a week ago and I got an really low alk reading initially i think the number was 5dkh. I went ahead and started doing some brightwell...

Hi Everyone, this summer or fall I will be taking the leap into dosing my Redsea 250. I'm in the planning stage currently and just trying to figure out what I will need as far as equipment and what to dose. I've been dosing Calcium and Reef Plus via my auto top off and that has worked for my GSP...

I did an ICP test, and I'm low in all of the elents found in both of these solutions. Any particular thoughts on using them in general? Any thoughts on which is better?

Hi All, I am relatively new to reefing but learning a very steep learning curve which has been great fun, now my water parameters are very stable and i am now in a position where i can see my coral nutrient demand, i am looking to 'fine-tune' my dosing. So the past two weeks i have been dosing...

Hey all I need an advice here. I have a refugium with a chaeto set about 15 days ago. It was fine until yesterday when started to break in a few pieces. Today in the morning it was worse, so I took out from the sump because started to spread a lot of pieces in the tank. It is still green...

Hi folks, I am looking to implement 2-part/balling method using sodium carbonate, however most products I see being sold here in the UK use sodium bicarbonate. I would like to run my pH a little higher, hence my interest in using soda ash. BRS soda ash is not available here, and although I am...

I'm refining my doser tubing path/plumbing to neaten up the sump a bit... I'd like to continue to use the "regular" more rigid refrigerator type waterline tubing between the reservoir and the doser. Then I would like to use the more flexible 1/8" ID silicone tubing between the doser and the...
