Amount to dose?

[stocker]

Am using B-ionic 2 part system. Finally got my levels to where they should be, was wondering how much should I dose of each to keep those levels the same? Have a 45g, and also an 8 gallon sump. So approx 53 gals total.

The amount can only be determined by trial and error, since it depends on what is in the tank. Use the alkalinity as the guide to how much of each part to dose, since it responds a lot faster to over or under dosing than does calcium. Maybe start with 20 mL of each part per day, and after a few days go up or down as necessary to stabilize at the alkalinity that you want.

Randy,
Thanks, I've been going around 20 ml but wasn't sure that was the right amount. I'll keep it there for now.

Sounds good.

Happy Reefing.
