dosing

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...

Brief history The beginning It all started at around the age of 4 in Cleveland, Ohio when my father purchased a 250 gallon fish only tank with show sized fish. He knew nothing other than they where pretty and paid people to do everything but feed the fish ( that was my job). I would soon after...

I’m have a nano tank about 1 year old. Starting to add some Lps frags and and a small frags of Monti Cap few weeks ago. I have not seen much drop in Alk, Cal, Mag. Is that because frags dont consume that much of Alk,Ca, Mg. I am looking to add in 2 acro frag into tank, just for starting...

Hey Guys- I am rebuilding my Red Sea Reefer 450 to be an SPS dominant ZeoVit system. I have used Triton Core7, Aquaforest 3-part and BRS 2-part in the past on other systems and the previous build of this system, in which I attempted the Triton Method. I am trying to determine what my best bet...

I currently have slightly low alkalinity between 6.4 and 7 and high calcium (a little over 500). Things in the reef are thriving. I have heard you can set the reactor for the desired alkalinity and the calcium will fall into proper range since it’s all about balance. pH is fine (maybe a...

Been really interested in dosing my tank with vinegar for the past couple of days. I have been having a hard time trying to get rid of hair algae. Anyone have any advice on dosing it with vinegar? If anyone is wondering, I have a mix of sps and lps corals with parameters of: specific gravity-...

Hello, I am trying to find out how much Calcium, DKH, and Magnesium is being used in a day in my reef tank. I don't currently have a 2 part dosing system to keep the levels right and I am using 2 different things do dose and it is been working, but I need help with the calculations. I might...

Hello, I am wondering if a protein skimmer takes Calcium, DKH, and Magnesium out of a reef tank? I am trying to see if there is a way to keep these things in the water without having to dose so much, as this stuff can get expensive quickly.

Hey everyone, I was curious what your favorite 2 part is? I currently use Seachems Reef Fusion 1 and 2 . What do you use and why do you like it?

Hey reefers I have a question. I manually dose my 55 gallon tank every day/ every other day depending on consumption of alk/calcium, but would much rather get a dose and have it dose daily throughout the day for increased stability. HOWEVER, I'm extremely curious, how often have dosing pumps...

Hi! My calcium is 500, but my alk is 7.7. I’d like to dose my alk using the b-ionic 2 part dosing I just got, but do I need to still dose calcium?

Hi all, So I am properly sick of not being able to purchase Triton additives because they are always out of stock and having two sets of milk jugs leak in the boxes when I receive them is not making me very loyal at this point. I currently do not follow the "triton" method but us their...

So I've noticed a fair amount of my sand bed turning to rock. Especially around the base rock - it is as if my base rocks are growing. I pulled out some chunks and broke up some others that weren't too tough, but the stuff that is attached to the base rock is just too hard. My dosing of ESV...

Hello reefers! I have upgraded to a Red Sea Reefer 250 and I am curious how often you guys/gals dose your reef system. I plan on keeping soft coral, LPS, and a few SPS. Thanks all, -Brian G.

Hey, so I have a 4 part dosing pump that doses calc, alk, mag, and kalkwasser on each. Automation is a wonderful thing and I want to make the most out of it. What I am wondering is in my magnesium reservoir or my kalkwasser reservoir can I also mix in things such as a carbon source (maybe vodka)...

I am newer to reefing (about 6 months). I want to start trying to keep some SPS corals in my tank, Ive been successful with softies and a few LPS corals. I have a 40g IM nuvo fusion. I've been keeping track of my elements the last few weeks, and have very little swing (i'm guessing that is...

Question/concern on my nitrates. I have always had high nitrates in my tank. They range from 20-80, even when I was went fallow due to MV (just feeding a sun coral). I feel good when they stay at 20! Did a 8% water change yesterday and they were at 80 right after and 80 this morning. I'd like to...

Anyone know the size of the tubing for the Kamoer X4 Wifi Dosing Pump.... The tubing that runs into your tank/containers..... No luck at my Lowes/ Petsmart. Tried airline tubing but its too big. thanks in advance! Amazon product preferred !!

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...

Hi folks: long story short but after Hurricane Irma I have been dosing calcium but not alkalinity. I checked my 2-part dosing with Apex immediately after the storm, and all seemed fine on the Fusion console. Unfortunately, I forgot to prime the DOS after that major loss of power, so the pump...

Hey guys, Starting to add some different corals to my tank. Currently have a hammer colony, zoa, birds nest, a candy cane, and 3 types on montipora. I got my first Hanna checker the other day. Tested the Calcium and it was at 261. I'm using Red Sea Coral Pro salt. Got me wondering what the...

When you start to think that you are doing the things right in this hobby, there's always a new thing that tells you that you're wrong. That's my case with KH and CA dosing. I have been dosing BRS two-part to my reef tank for about 5-6 months. Was a little hard to find the point and maintain my...

I have a 180 gallon mixed reef with mostly SPS. Lit by LED and flow by two Tunze 6105 powerheads and a Waveline DC-6000 return pump. My current params are 8 dKH Alk, 420 Ca, 1250 Mg, .10 P04, 5 NO3 I'd like to see if I can get more growth and color from my SPS. I also cant grow digitata...
