[mike007]

Everyone who is using dosing pumps what size tank do you have and how much alkalinty and calcium additives are you adding per day?

Brs, recipe 1, 75 gallon tank.

79 ml per day. Just bumped it up though. I was dosing 53 ml per day and it wasn't even close to keeping up. I've been manually dosing alk also twice per week to keep alk above 7. The sps are really growing and eating up the minerals lately.

Wow i am having the same issue i went from 55 ml a day to 60ml and my alk is at 6.8. I guess i will keep bumping it up a little at a time.

105 ml of BRS 2 part in a 155 gallon/36 gallon sump. Only have frags and small SPS colonies but quite a few of them.

Down to 168ml a day on a 180.

Mike, have you had your parameters to what you want them to be? It can be difficult/frustrating chasing the numbers.

you have to calculate the amount you need its different for each tank depends on demand.

I use the BRS 1.1 ml/min dosing pumps with DIY Recipe 1. I have a 90 DT mixed reef and dose 50 minutes each per day (calculates to 55 mls per day). I target 7 dKH since I’m also running biopellets, and wish to kept alk on the low side. Everything is growing like a weed. I manually dose Mag on an as-needed basis.
