how many ml do I need to raise it to? 8.5 right now is currently at 8.2 alkalinity calcium 460

You ideally don’t want to use AFR to raise your alkalinity. It is typically better to raise it using an alk specific reagent and then keep it steady using AFR.

You gotta stop titling your threads "k" . 8.2 and 460 are great, just dose all for reef at recommend instructions on the bottle.

that’s what I did I’m using all four reefs to keep it steady. I just need to know how many. mL do I need to raised to? 8.5 right now it’s at 8.2.

New to the hobby I read the instructions on the bottle, but it doesn’t specify how many ML do I need to raise alkalinity

Dont chase numbers. 8.2 is perfectly fine, not sure why the .3 difference is so pressing

It raises both alk and ca equal. Per instructions. Dose 5ml daily per 100liters. Adjust based on the levels after a few days. If it goes down, dose more. Up, dose less

I have it at 8.5. That’s my alkalinity level. It dropped three last night.

As mentioned, you're better off using an alkalinity supplement to make up for the consumption. Is your tank consuming .3 dkh everyday?
