Scotty & Tammy's 4x4x2 SPS tank

[Scotty freddy]

hope you didnt tell them the secret ingredient

Shhh Chris :lolspin:

I was just told he makes a sacrifice to the reefing gods on a full moon, sounds reasonable to me :spin2:

Yes you have to be dedicated Conor :lol: :crazy1:

Thank you Reefocd
I'm dosing Randy's recipe, 660ml a day alkalinity and calcium broken down into 20 separate doses of each a day, 140ml a day of magnesium broken down to 14 doses daily.

Hope that is helpful
Scotty

Waoooooo. What equipment you are using that is so confident for all that dosing regimen.

I run the Vertex Libra doser and found them to be a great unit. One thing I really like about them is that they use RO line instead of the silicone tube which I found becomes blocked very easily. The Libra enables me to split up the large daily amounts into as smaller increments as I like which really helps with stability. I've had it running on the tank from the very beginning and this far have not had an issue, I'll also be using one on my new smaller build which is currently in the making

No probs mate

Calcium and K I really used to struggle with but as the tank has matured they have become more elevated and stable

Yea mate I do and I find the same thing, I dose the zeovit K-balance string into my WC tub weekly and found that holds my K at a better level than the potassium chloride I was using
