Bulk additive or premixed solution for dosing?

[DavidinGA]

I don't understand maybe I am doing something wrong but I am dosing 8.64ml a day of each solution and my Alk is 8.3 and calcium is always at 490 to 500 I don't know how you guys are dosing so much are your tanks packed with sps or something?

That'd be nice.

I dose about 90-100ml a day each, but I have about 210gal....

I used to dose 60ml of each (alk, cal) per day with ESV and when I turned my pumps off it was consuming 4ppm per hour (alk). Now with BRS bulk I dose 35ml per day and pumps off consuming not even 2ppm per hour. Same results for colors and less cyano.

you think the cyno might have been from the extra nutrients from the esv?

 

[74Killer]

Maybe? Since I don't use it anymore cyano is gone and I didn't change anything else.
