Nice thread.
Need some help from expert advise
tank size 120 gal
I'm currently dosing Randy's receipe 1 for my SPS tank
Kh 50ml - 2 hrs once start from 12am (eg. 12am, 2am, 4am ...)
Ca 90ml - 2 hrs once start from 1am (Eg. 1am, 3am, 5am....)
each dosing amount will last 55mins and 5 mins rest before the next one started (about 7drops or so every 20sec estimated)
Total dosing amount at night Kh 350ml ca700ml
Mg 300ml every 3 days once at 7pm
Every night measure at 9.00pm Ca 400-420, kh 8.0-8.4 Mg 1280-1320
i struggled for almost 2 weeks before i manage to get this result due to ionic imbalance
Recently, PH drop significantly after switching all the dosing after lights off. Now (8.0-8.3) before was (8.2-8.5). I'm contemplating to slowly adjust back to 8.1-8.4 by delaying the dosing starting from 4am instead of 12am.
I'm very keen to know
1) Is there any way to measure the highly concentrated dosing solution using our test kit.
2) I don't know why but i need to dose a lot more ca solution than kh - i'm worry. Is it because CA precipitate causing more solution required when dosing?
3) what is the safe dosing amount/qty quantity within an hour ?
Hope someone can share his experience. Thanks
