ESV B-ionic Dosing Related Question.

[hansnfrans]

If I dose 7.5ml of parts 1 and 2 (as per instructions) in a 29gal reef. Then I move the same exact corals to a 120gal reef. I should be dosing the same amount that I did in the 29gal b/c there is no increased demand for these elements, correct?

You're going to need more. More water, most probably more rock, more surface area, more coraline algae, more supplement.

You should be able to figure out the tank needs after about a week by testing on day 1 and then day 4 and then day 7. That will give you a good idea on what you are using in a week.
Look into Randy's two part Ca and Alk additive in the chemistry forum, it will save you a ton of money.
