The title pretty much says it all.

I have a 91 gallon volume system and Chaetogro's instructions says to dose 5ml for every 20 gallons twice a week for the first two weeks and increase the dosage if needed. Does that seem excessive? I heard others on here only dose 2ml a day for a volume of 150 gallons? Any ideas?

Are you sure you need it? I would start your fuge without it and see how the chaeto does. I’ve never needed any supplements for mine to grow well and I think there are potential side effects with chaeto grow.

If you are already sure it is needed, I would start with half the recommended dose and see how the chaeto responds. If it doesn’t improve, you can bump up the dose.

That's what I was thinking as well. Pretty much word for word.
