370ml Ca + Alk per day can't be right

Idk i made up 1 gal at a time. Think i used 4-6 scoops brs soda ash. Cant remember the measure cup size i used and im at work.

Pretty sure this is your problem. I dose brs 2 part using their gallon mix pouches and it takes a lot more than a few scoop to make a gallon.

For reference i use brs in my sps dominant 265g that's full of coral. Im currently dosing 120ml of alk, 220ml of calcium, and 140ml of mg a day. For a few frags you shouldnt be anywhere near 300ml in a smaller tank

Also make sure you don't dose any 2 additives within 30mins of each other or it will definitely precipitate out

Yes it prob has to do with the potency of the dose or mix the op made.

Thanks for the reference point. Since shutting everything down and letting things settle down, I'm seeing stability with Alk @ ~6.11 dosing 67ml/day. No Ca consumption and slight Mg consumption.
