looking to see how much two part you add in one day
how muck alk?
how much cal?
 
209ml/day of each part for my 90g reef-heavy tank.

Just curious - How do you add that volume - dosing pump or the like? I would get a ton of precipitation with that much carbonate added. I get a ton with my second 15 ml capful.

Hi -

I use a couple of BRS Drew's Dosers. I drip the the Alk part every hour for 20 minutes from the time my lights go out, through the night into the next day. I then dose the Cal part after that's done all in one shot. I don't get any precipitation at all.

Before I had the dosing pumps I would dose manually, and pour each part into my overflow, separately, of course.
 
Great thread! I don't know how much I use in total but I do know that my Alk is used up a lot faster than the Cal. I just dump it in and don't measure but I need to just to track it.
 
120 ml of alk, cal and mag. Dosed separately, daily. This is of the stock Brightwell aquatics solutions for each.
