Recently I got a dosing unit for dosing 2-part.
When I started:
Alk: 5dKh
Ca: 450
Mag: 1700 (was dosing to get rid of briopsis)
Salinity: 1.026
I start the doser dosing ~20ml a day, which slowly started bring dKh up by .5 after a week. I increased dosing to 24ml a day, whichgradually increased Alk by .5 every two days. Once it got it around 8dKh I cut back on the dosing to 20ml a day. After a few days I noticed that the dKh was dropping, so I have not gradually increased to 30ml a day. dKh now is around 6.
My current explination is once I got the parameters right, then the corals could efficiently use Alk. That is why the dosing needs to increase. Has anyone else experienced this? I have a 90G heavily stocked with SPS, does 30-40ml of Alk solution a day sound high or low?
