Recommended dosing sequence

Randy Holmes-Farley · Dec 25, 2014

Magnesium can be dosed any time and need not be dosed frequently at all since it depletes very slowly (if at all).

I'd either spread the alk dose out, or dose at night when the pH is lowest.

Calcium can be dosed once a day, any time.

So there is any frequency or schedule for it ?
For example if i dose at 11 am MG then at 5.00 pm ca and at 10 pm Alk , any recommendations for timing between each other ?
Thx in advance

Magnesium will likely deplete so slowly that any time once a week is more than adequate in any tank.

Spreading out the alk and calcium additions is good, but need not be that far apart if it is inconvenient. You just do not want to add a cloud of high calcium water to an existing cloud of high alk water before it mixes in well.
