I was wondering how many ml's of 2 part you guys and gals are dosing daily? Using only Kalk in my top off no longer keeps up with the demand. So I'd like to hook up my doser I've had sitting for sometime.

So for comparison purposes:

1. How many ml of Alk & Cal do you dose over a 24 hour period?

2. How many ml of Mag? Weekly?

3. Total Water Volume?

4. Small, Medium, or Heavily Stocked with Coral? What type?

5. Are you using Kalk as well? If so, how much per gallon of RODI?

6. What doser are you using? Or are you manually dosing?

I would suggest for you to measure the actual usage of your tank in one whole week and divide that in 7 day, only you can calculate your tank's actual consumption IMO.

I agree with you coral diver maybe more out of curiosity is all. I think it could be helpful though as far as wrapping your head around the topic so to speak.
