Dosing Question

[bearjohnson]

I dose alk daily to the tune of 45ml a day. I'm using the BRS mix for alk, mag, and calcium.

Does anyone think that dumping 45ml into the 125g tank all at once could pose any problems?

I don't think it should be an issue. I pour 50ml in my 29 gallon with no problems.

I assume you have decent circulation in you tank.

wow, unless you tank is packed with corals to the surface. 45ml is a lot for 125g, whats your mag at? do u have a lot of white dots on wall? I have a 90G + 20g sump so 120gal total water and I dose 10.5ml of alk and cal per day, 10ml Mag.

It's going to cause a pH swing to some degree.

50ml of a saturated soda ash solution? You are really causing a pH spike in a 29g tank if so.

Better to determine what your daily consumption Is and then dose small amounts throughout the day.
