Hello Triton reefers!
I recently setup my new triton system, 250L or 66gal. I have now submitted four samples for ICP testing, and I just want to double check if I understand the maintenance dose calculation for the various elements. For instance my manganese levels have been lower then the setpoint on all tests, with every test I dose the corrective dosage. But with the maintenance dose the instructions are what follow:
"To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.
To keep this value, refer to our maintenance dose. For calculating the maintenance dose proceed as follows:
1 Test: dose maintenance dose xml
2 Test: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + new maintenance dose (from the 2nd test) xml dosing.
3 Test:: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + old maintenance dosing xml (from the 2nd test) + new maintenance dose xml meter (from the 3rd Test). Thereafter, the dosage should not be increased, even though the analysis indicates a value of 0.
Mn: We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 2 days. For the first 2 days the dosage should be 2.5ml.
Mn: We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.42ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7)."
So if I understand everything correct, my final daily maintenance dose should be 0.42ml+0.42ml+0.42ml (since the daily maintenance dose has been recommended 0.42ml for the three tests in a row now). I hope it makes sense, I appologize for my bad english (not my native language).
