Bubble Magus Doser

[Fache]

Hey Guys

Just picked up a BM 3 head Doser and starting to understand the mechanics of it, but I am struggling with how many ml's to set up daily for both alk and cal. I've seen many posts where 40ml seems to be the norm. Trying to figure out the best approach to dial this in. Not sure how much the tank is consuming as I was topping off alk and cal weekly and there was a bit of fluctuation.

The reef is stocked, I do WC weekly. It's a 70g with 40g sump

Welcome any suggestions

Thanks in advance

You first measure consumption then calculate the dosage based on that....
Some will measure.. Then measure tomorrow and for a few days/week and see how the levels change..

You absolutely cannot use a "norm".. There is no "norm" as consumption is dependent on many variables..

If you were already manually doing it then start with a similar dosage and check it each day for the first week and adjust as needed based on a rise or fall of the values..
Consumption should be fairly consistent for the most part..
