.2 - .3 per day TBH.
Ok, ill have to work the math to see how much to dose over the day to get it up.
From what I see it says 1ml in 1gallon raises alk by 3.1dkh.
what salt are you using and do you do water changes routinely?
Fritz RPM Pro blue box. Normally once a week 10% but lately its been about once a month to keep my nitrates and phosphates up a little.
wow you have fish only and that much consumption. i would do water changes bi weekly test a few hours after the water change and start dosing a bottled two part immediately after to keep the levels the same. but your not keeping coral so its not a big deal maybe dose a larger amount twice or three times a week its all up to you.
I have Soft, LPS and some SPS coral in the tank. I didnt dose for awhile and now apparently i need to supplement again. I turned the pump back on and loaded the new schedule and set an alarm to check in 5 days.
Rodger that. Right now its at about 8.0 at best.
Red sea has a good and easy ALK mix
Do you use the liquid or the powder?
I didnt see him mention fish only tank??
You just don't want to raise it more than .2 per day so that you don't stress any corals. Depending upon your Alk mix (soda ash, etc.) it can cause a spike.
The liquid and its the Foundation B
My local store carries this in 1000ml bottles I believe. Once I burn through my Brightwell bottle soon I might try it out.
For your 175 gallon tank the dosing will be super accurate and easy with that nice number because you dose based on 25 gallon incrimants
Im going to slowly bring it up to 9dkh and then stop dosing and see where it drops over a few days and then calculate daily usage.
Yes good plan but do a few tests over a 5-10 day span so you have a pretty good idea what the daily consumption of ALK looks like
