Can you dose Brightwell Reef Code B without dosing Brightwell Reef Code A? TIA!

Is Kalkwasser a tool available to use to lower phosphate levels? Further, do all 2 part Alk & Calc additives bind with, thus lowering, phosphates? After watching a Tidal Gardens video that mentioned using Kalkwasser as a way to lower phosphates, I came across some information and some older...

I'm trying to decide which 2 (or 3, or 4) part system I want to use with my reef, and am currently comparing Tropic Marin (TM) vs Bulk Reef Supply (BRS) Pharma parts A & B. Here are some observations and related questions. Tropic Marin Part A uses Calcium Chloride Dihydrate, while BRS is just...

So I ordered the bulk reef supply kalkwasser starter kit and it should be at my house when I get home from work today. I haven’t been adding anything for my few corals and I dont have alkalinity calcium or magnesium testers yet. My tank is a 55 gallon with 2 anenomes with some zoas, acans...

My question is about the relative strength/concentration of different 2-part brands. I've been using the BRS pharma pouches for years, and they work well. However I also use the RedSea Coral Colors trace elements, and they suggest dosing based on the uptake of calcium... RedSea calcium! So to...

I've been dosing Brightwell Aquatics Reef Code A & B for about a week now. Learned that I need to dial up my dose but also wanted to bring my Calcium and Alkalinity up generally, and in reading the advanced instructions I'm a bit confused. Reef Code A (Calcium) instructions read: "If the...

Hey all, i tested my water last night and tonight to see the amount i need to dose for calcium, alk, and magnesium. Last night, my alk was at a 7.2, magnesium was around 1425 ppm, and calcium was at about 520 ppm (This was after a water change that I did a day before). Tonight, I saw that my alk...

Hey All, Is there *ahem* anyone *ahem* that could explain to me why when dosing two-part in my SPS dominant aquarium that my calcium uptake is exactly three times my alk? I’m using the BRS Pharma pouches and currently dose 45ml Alk and 125ml Ca per 24hr. This keeps me steady at 9dkh (+- 0.2...

Hi all, I wanted to preface this by saying that I love using the aqua forest component 1/2/3+ and have had great results, however, I am going through $80-$100 of additives a month right now and am constantly having to refill my dosing containers every few days. So I was planning on...

Hi Reef2Reef, I've been dosing my tank according to Randy's two part recipe for a few months. The first time I made the calcium solution, after a few hours a little white powder had precipitated on the bottom. Yesterday I made a new batch and made sure in the bucket that all the calcium chloride...

Hi, I have one lightly used "BRS 2 Part Doser - 1.1 ml Per Minute" for sale. I used the pump to dose Alkalinity to my nano tank for about 3 months, but recently replaced with a 4-head dosing pump. It ran ~45 minutes per day during that 3 months, so the pump has a total run time of about 70...

hi everyone, I have notice recently when I added same amount of two parts (dosing pump checked), my alk is descreaing and cal is increasing. Any thought? Week 1 Alk 7.7 ( correct back to 8.5 by dosing 30ml of alk) Cal 460 Week 2 Alk 7.7 Cal 470

I've been playing with the charts on Apex and found a good way to start two part dosing and and a chart to show it. So I bought some stony corals. Mainly a few LPS. I started checking Alk and Ca at night I then dosed it according to BRS calculator. I went off of what the Alk recomedation for...
