2 part dosing question...

[rs1831]

It seems like my parameters drop faster than the recommended daily dosage for the 2 part bionic that I use. My first question is it it okay to add more than the 1ml to 1 gallon rule? Also, is it okay to break up the dosage through out the day? Meaning if I am going to add 55ml of part 1 could I add half in the morning and the other half later in the day? Then do the same with the part 2. Thanks and I hope this is clear enough for someone to help me.

Yes to both questions

Your tanks demand may be more or less than the general guidlines. A suggest a trip to the chem forum where you can read Randy's sticky threads on the subject

I would dose your tank and test it an hour after. Write down what you tested and wait 24 hours and test again and you will see how much your tank uses up alk and cal . Then use the reef calculater and figure out what you want your parameters at and thats how much you should dose. hope this isnt confusing

by the way I have a 25g and I dose 25 mil in the morning and 25 at night. It took me a few tests to figure out what I should dose but now I only test about once a month if that

SPStoney... I think that is what a lot of us end up doing
