How often do you adjust digital timer for BRS doser?
I got lazy and my alk drop to around 6dkh then I lost couple of corals recently by STN. I am trying to re adjust the timer but it is tricky.

Any helpful ideas?
 
You need to test your alk daily, make adjustments per the calculator, and adjust your timer accordingly. I would add alk over a couple of days till you get to a reading of 8-9.
I would also adjust your timer up. the key is to test daily, use a API test kit very quick. Once you get it dialed in you can almost forget it,,,but you should still check every 2-3 weeks.

It is difficult to give you specific advise since we do not know how big your tank is, or how long you are dosing now, using recipe 1 0r 2 etc. a lot of important items missing. the BRS dosers put out 1.1ml/minute and you are at 6dkh that's all we know.
 
If your tank is doing well you should have to keep increasing it. The bigger your corals grow the more they will consume to keep growing. For example a 1 inch coral with one branch is going to grow slower Than a 2 inch coral with two branches. So as your 1 inch coral turns into a 2 inch coral it will grow faster. At least thats how it has worked in my expierence.
