All for Reef dosing help!

[onlytoby]

Hey all!

So I've recently just stocked my tank with quite a few nice new pieces and want to make sure I'm keeping everything stable.

It looks like i'm using about 0.3 dKH a day and I have a tub of All For Reef Liquid, however I don't have any labels or instructions.

What ratio should I be dosing?

Per the instructions, start with 5ml per 26 gallons of tank water per day. Increase the daily dosage – by continuous control of the alkalinity – weekly by 2.5 ml per 100 liters (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume, until a constant carbonate hardness of 7 to 9 °dH is reached.

Thank you for that - My main concern is how much it 5ml/any increases will make to the alk, as I don't want it to rise by too much considering the small size of my tank (90L)

If you're concerned, then start with a little less. I use All For Reef (powdered version that you mix yourself), and I supplement it with Alk dosing. In my experience, AFR isn't as potent for alk, but I like everything else it puts in the tank.
