Dosing question

[West1]

Those that use a digital doser, how do you dose on water change day?

Currently my 45gl uses .10 Ppm of CA & .10ppm DKH per day.

If I dose CA in the morning and Alk in the evening but do a water change in the afternoon, my CA/DKH numbers could go up or down.

So, do you guys leave the doser as is or skip on water change days?
My concern is over dosing in the event a WC puts one or all params where they need to be.


Doser is still in box, just overthinking and could not find an answer to my question.

Use a salt that closely matches you desired parameters

I use IO. It's cheap and I get a lot of it. Personally, I think messing with high dollar salts can cause parameter pains.

With that said, I'm just curious how people use their dosers on WC day.

before I switched to a CaRx I just did a water change as usual and tested a couple hours after with no change to my doser

When dosing ca alk and mag the most Important thing to know is alk. if it is raising up most likely ca is dropping through precipitation same if the alk is dropping more then normal then calcium is being dosed to much. When I ran a doser I just did not dose that day.
