Dialing in dose

[Anirban]

Congrats you are dialled in. Go ahead and increase the dose. I will suggest to make it 140ml.

 

[ken77]

Sweet thanks I will do that. When do you want to tell me how we did it

 

[Anirban]

Lol....frankly this was all guessing based on the tank need. Lets start from today. We increased the 15 ml of all component. Tomorrow we will see how much everything increased and then we will again increase the dosing based on tank needs. Its demand and supply.

 

[ken77]

Oh i thought we were using some formula based on the amount used ect.

 

[ken77]

I got everything adjusted to 140

 

[Anirban]

Sometime your experience and understanding of your own tank is better than any formula. I was thinking your system as mine and suggest everything that I will do for my own tank. Whenever there is an issue dont jump up and start doing things. But stay back and look at your little creatures inside that glass box. They will tell you what they are going through and what they need. Everyday in morning and evening I stand in front of my tank and look at every single inhabitant of the tank. I try to think like them and do what I believe best for it.

I do that as well my kids make fun of me for comparing my aquarium inhabitants to our dogs.

I have had this tank running for five years. This is the first time I have felt comfortable with where the macro elements are.

The last two years i have constantly trying to adjust a ca reactor. Thanks for helping me.

I have some nutrient issues that i will have to address soon but I to be sure this is stable first.

Lol.....they are worse than dog. They can not even make noise to draw your attention. But they express so look for there expression.

Hello @Anirban i increased dosage to 140 mls like we talked about last night. This evening
Alk is 7
Ca 405
Mg is 1410
What do you think?

 

[Anirban]

Good, now to reach Alk- 7.25 how much dosing do you think you will need?

 

[ken77]

I would say 145 or 150?

 

[ken77]

Maybe even 160 but that might over shoot it

 

[Anirban]

Do it....lets see.

 

[ken77]

Ok

 

[ken77]

I set it for 160.

 

[ken77]

Good evening @Anirban i have the results of the experiment we did last night. Raising the dosage from 140mls to 160 didnt raise macrs as much as i thought it would.
Alk 7 same
Ca 405 same
Mg 1440 only one that increased.

 

[Anirban]

Let it sit there with same dose for 24 more hour then we will decide.

 

[ken77]
