Dosing

[Timothyh33]

So I have just started dosing and my tank reads really low to where my titration tests don't show any calcium, alkalinity or magnesium. I have slowly increased my dosing to see any improvement and nothing. I have a 75 gallon reef tank. I do 80ppm of magnesium,160ppm of calcium and 5dkh a day(it's been 2 months of dosing). I do water changes every other week so I just don't get why I haven't had any success.

What test kits are you using? Something seems off here.

Sounds really low. I use the Red Sea My Recipe Wizard and am pretty much spot on. I had to fine tune it some but not much. What and how much are you dosing?

Try the Recipe Wizard.
