How much 2 part are you using daily?

[Maximus]

I've been using kalkwasser for the past couple months but it is not keeping up. I just started dosing 60 ml of B-Ionic daily for the past couple weeks on my 100g medium stocked sps/lps tank and was wondering how much you guys/gals dose/day? Please list your tank size, stocking level of corals and type of coral (SPS, LPS, sps/lps mix?). Thanks.

I would recommend Dr. Randy Holmes-Farley's diy 2 part system. Once setup all you do is test alk and then dose when that drops down.

um, i think my 120g display uses about 74ml a day?

My system is 220 medium-heavy stocked with SPS and LPS. My Ca is 480 and Alk 9.5-10. I also dose Mg when needed and keep it at 1650. I dose 90ml of BRS 2 part daily to keep the Ca and Alk where they are. Mg varies. I also dose 1 gal of Kalk solution at night before the lights in my fuge come on with the cheato in it. I use Brightwells Kalk +2 for the solution.

In addition to Kalk laden ATO, my heavilly stocked, SPS/LPS ~50 gallon system uses ~120ml each per day of BRS 2-part to maintain 9dKh / 420CA. This amount is a small volume system causes salinity creep. I've just installed a GEO 612 to replace the 2-part (see The End of 2-Part)

Wow, 120 ml on a 50g system? Your tank must be packed! I actually did the opposite and sold my reactor and started 2part. Yeah, I'll order the BRS two part eventually as it is much cheaper than B-Ionic.

dosing

In addition to CA reactor.. i add 1/2 cup of each ca/alk daily (1/4 cup mag). 240G heavy stocking sps.

Wow - Sounds like you need a bigger CaRx

 

[Just Clownin Around]

70+Mls of each daily. B ionic
70 gallon with 30 gallon frag tank

Kalk dropped it down to 15tsp per 30 gallons of RODI. I have about 3 gallons of evaporation per day.

This per day:
I also dose 165ml of soda ash/RODI mixed solution. 200ml of calcium chloride crystalline form.
20ml magnesium solution per day also from BRS.
