[awais98]

Hi everyone
Have a 3 months old 8g Pico and trying my luck with acros there. Finally reached stability with dkh and calcium.

I'm currently dosing Kent marine nano reef 17ml part A calcium and 15 ml part B bicarb and want to covert to diy Randy's 2 part receipe one.
Any one knows the equivalent conversion? How should I be dosing ?
Randy your help will be highly appreciated!!

According to this calculator:

you might need about ⅓ more, but I'm interpolating from the other Kent product. Do you have any dosing instructions that say how much it'd take to raise the alkalinity of some volume by some amount?

I did check that calculator but it doesn't say any thing abt the Kent marine nano.
And on the bottle there is no indication of the concentration.
All it says there is it may take 1-4 ml per gallon! Lol
Hence my query

Sigh, well, without any documentation as to the concentration, I can't help much. I'd probably start with ⅓ more, and watch the parameters. It should take only a few days of alkalinity tests to get a trend line.

I think that will be the safest bet. I will do that and get a trend.

The labelled dosing i mentioned above is incorrect.

This is the correct info:
On the bottle it says , it will take 8 drops ( 1 ml) for 4 gallons....

and I am doing 15 ml for 8 gallons....7.5 times more than what it says there.........

Thank you for your suggestions:bdaysmile:
