They Call me "RifRaf"
Short version: need dosing recommendation/verification
85 gal total H2O, Moderate/low demand tank...
here is my dosing sched:
Dosing 4.4 ml of Randys (old forumla) 2pt every Hour
Mag is as needed (ESV)
makeup water is Kalk (about .75gal daily)
^^^^ if anyone has a decent dosing guestimate to keep my Alk stable at about 164, I be VERY appreciate....
Need 2pt amounts for both of the Randy Formulas given the Kalk makeup water
Current readings are Alk 164
Calcium +500
Mag 1300
Again, appreciate reply in advance...
_____________________long version______________________
I didn't want to piggyback/steal anothers thread but I have almost the same issue...
this semi competent long time reefer is STUMPED! ...STN all over the place and the timing could not be worse (got incoming CORA frags this weekend)
after almost 7mos of solid /stable readings;
Alk is bouncing all over the place: 6-12!!!!! (over 2wk period!!!)
I suspect for a while that bad reagent for my alk test might have lead me astray <maybe>...
I got new regeant but I no longer trust my math, and too much corals & $$$ are at risk...
again: can someone help?
