bluebeltreefer · Sep 4, 2009

a question for all you 2 part users. how much are you dosing daily and what is your system specs? also, how do you go about dosing?

for me, i have a 180g display with 75g sump and 10g frag tank connected all into one system. im dosing about 200ml of calcium and alk daily, and i split it up into 3 equal doses throughout the day. you?

Wow.. your water volume is larger than mine, but I'm dosing:

alk - 15mL
calc -40mL

Keeps me going at 9 and 400. I've only been dosing for a month now, so I'll probably have to increase my dosing amounts a little.

Recently switched from dosing 2 part to using a Ca Rx. I was doing it manually until I messed up and then switched to a Dual Aquamedic Reef Doser. Was dosing 11.8mLs of Ca and about 10 mLs of Alk split into 2 doses. Added Mg to my top off. All of my solutions were homemade. I really recommend not doing it manually unless you are really commited. Plus automating it makes it so much easier.

I have a 34 gallon Solana all in one tank. I have a Litermeter III and use C-Ballance. I use 2 two-gallon Rubbermaid water jugs to hold parts A and B. I put 200 ml of A in one and B in the other and fill the remaining with RO water. I set the Litermeter so that it takes almost a month to dose out the mixtures. I am thinking about adding more A and B since my tank has matured. Oh yea, the solona has two 1-pint bottles for dosing. I usually put kalkwasser in one and magnesium in the other.
