I for example dose sodium hydroxide at night. I test at the same time every morning (after final dose before lights on). I get a stable number each day I test. I don’t have an alk monitor, but I have zero doubt my graph would look very similar to yours up until my first dose at 1am. That graph would then show a gradual increase up until my final dose at 6am.
Fantastic claims require fantastic results. I don’t see anything fantastic here.

before Garf tries it with Kalk
Are you injecting CO2 into yours ?Again, false. A skimmer will not raise pH 100% of the time
So you agree?! lolKalk slurry aeration
…and they dismissed at my (our) attempts at REAL science …. :p:p …. hopefully this will save us some money thanks for inventing/improvising/posting Getting another tank Thursday and gonna feed it with this lamp eventually. I’ve put 710 grms of kalk in the bubbler which should last a few...www.reef2reef.com
First overdose in 20 years from kalkSo you agree?! lol
That’s good going…..First overdose in 20 years from kalk
I didn’t say any of that at all. I specifically said I dose throughout my lights off period. I chose sodium hydroxide for its high ph but this requires the dosing to be spread out.So you’re saying here that sodium hydroxide does the same as the balling Alk mix in terms of pH and Alk trends??
In which case, if you’re confident of that, you could dose the NaOH as a bolus and produce similar results too??
In which case, I dare you to try it and take photos. I could then explain to you why you’re whole livestock died and why the tank had a white out.
They do not do the same thing and before Garf tries it with Kalk. Kalk would do the same and a bolus would wipe out the tank.
So, no you’re wrong. Hydroxides don’t do the same thing….. they are different.
I suspect this is why they’ve said not to try it with other mixes. Some have hydroxides in them….
An you clarify what these graphs represent?
Hi RandyAn you clarify what these graphs represent?
I assume the bottom two are alk? Under what scenarios?
Is there a pH graph that does with a spread out dosing of alk?
You’re missing my point. The “bolus method” is new and just so happens to come from someone who has financial ties with the method and claims only their supplements work..
There are many ways to get good results.Just out of curiosity, if "bolus" didn't exist can you still achieve the same results? Is it really that complicated so to say? AI in a tank? Still learning...
Hello @Mo. Can you help me understand what I am not seeing in my tank's pH chart and possibly your pH chart as well compared to what Doug Dorrat's example chart showed in Frag Garage's podcast at 40 minute 25 second mark?
He explained that when the bolus 1st gets injected, he gets an increase right away from 8.15 to about 8.25 pH.
My tank size is about 150 Litres (40 gallon)
Here is my initial pH before my 60ml of Fauna Marin Balling KH is injected at 6:30 a.m. with pH a 7.86.
In my case, I have not yet seen an increase in a jump in pH from direct injection of the bolus right away. Here is another shot of my pH at 6:50 a.m.
pH only shot up to 7.9
I started using Fauna Marin Bolus method earlier this week when I finished using up my ESV B-Ionic two part.
My pH is low since I fed Alan Vo's bacteria concoction to the tank about two days ago.
Maybe I am not injecting a big enough bolus into the tank or could the pH still be suppressed from my feeding?
That is why I would like to ask if you have an immediate increase in pH when you 1st inject your bolus into your tank?
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
