Kh, calcium and Mag

[Droberts0724]

RED Sea liquid supplements...I have a 125 mixed reef with about 110 water with rock and sump. How much to add to bring numbers back up to normal everything is low! My Alk is 5.7 and my calcium is 361 tried switching to balling method but need more to dose 100mls of each a day and now it's running low. I currently have my doser set to dose 10 mls of calcium 10 mls of mg and 13 mls of Alk for tomorrow. Is this too much to start? I want my number back to 8 alk, 420 calcium and 1400 magnesium. Soubt with hiw low my numbers are this will hurt anything. Need your expertise...so please help me! Thank you oh and these doses are set 4 hours apart each...8am, 9am, 10am and 12pm, 1pm, and 2pm...

Mag, Don't see the starting point in your post

1300 was the mag. However is this for the balling method or the red sea supplements. I switched back over and now not sure what to dose to get and maintain my numbers. I switched to the balling method because my numbers were hard to maintain at 8mls of each a day at 4 intervals...so I figured 2 interval times with increase of 2mls per substance....except my alk ia always the hardest to maintain.

I got those numbers looking at Red Sea Foundation Liquid Supplements. You can plug in exactly what you're using on that calculator to get the right results.

Dang, that mag reading on the calculator says 417 ml.. !

Agreed, alk is the hardest. I still change the alk dose every couple days and have a hard time getting it to be stable.

Its important u dose mag first, get mag to the level u want. If u don't alk and cal will be all over the place.
