Calcium Dosage

[tthnow]

How often do you guys dose cal? everyday? twice a week? what brand are you using and how often you dose.

Don't dose what you don't test for....so, basically, only add calcium when your calcium parameters warrant it.

Well said. You really need to know where you are, to know where you're going. It can be a PITA for a while, but you'll dial it in. The kicker is, that as your tank grows, it's Ca consumption will change. Ya gotta kinda just stay with it.

What sized tank do you have? what's your total water vol? what's in the tank? LR, corals, fish, inverts?

Most importantly what do you plan to dose? B-Ionic or other 2 part? Kalkwasser? etc...

with the calcium reactor I run, I never dose. it keeps things in check. but as shiveley points out, you shouldnt dose unless you've data to back it up.
