Getting started with Alk-Ca from AF (switching from reef fusion)

[david p.]

Hi,

i'm about to introduce the Alk-Ca-Mg and reef mineral for my tank with component strong.

I currently use Reef Fusion, about 20mL/d of Ca and Alk.
Label say:
10mL/250L will raise Alk by 0.176 meq/L and 4mg/L for Ca.

For AF:
KH Buffer says, 10g/100L increase 1.18meq/L and for Ca is 35mg/L for 10g/100L.

How much should i start adding of AF to match what i dose with Reef Fusion ???

of course i will test daily during the transition, but trying to find where to start
thx

You are using the 1+2+3+ and mixing your own??
What is your water volume??
are you auto dosing??

Water Volume: 85 SPS tank, 25g LPS hooked to a 40g Sump, i would say 130-140g of water.
I'm auto dosing with a kamoer.
i'm mixing my own from Alk, Ca, Mg and Reef mineral + component strong. It's not labeled as component 1+2+3.

I have the recipe for 1+2+3+ which your are mixing then, PM me your email for mixing spreadsheet.
Now to answer your question on how much. Once you achieve your desired alk, by dosing 2+(alk and component strong c) then dose 1+ and 3+ the same as 2+. the dosing is based off of your alk.
