All for Reef Users: How much does your tank use?

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

8.2- also use a scrubbber

Then there’s no need for kalk, though it may be a cheaper option than the scrubber.

I spread mine out between 0830 (I think that is when I start) and 1700. I have tried a few other timelines and didn't see anything really different is why I was asking. I have not tried a single dose though.

Thanks again - hope your day is well.

I was single dosing in the morning for several months. I noticed no difference when I switched to a doser spreading it out over 5 doses. The only reason I bothered to add the doser was because I was forgetting to dose occasionally and I already had the pump.

Thank you. Appreciate that information!

I dose 18ml spread out into 4doses from 0900-1300. Alk has maintained at 8.5 and Ca 440. Don't test mg but I do a 3gal water change weekly which I'm assuming is helping things remain stable?...
Redsea 26gal.

290 mL/day in a 250 gallon... start to get costly...

I add also urea (for N) and iron.

62 mL/day in my 48 gallon

How do you know how much urea to add?

How is your stocking? What do you attribute so much use to? Nice work!

90 gallon mixed reef with sps frags roughly 2-3 inches. Some LPS and zoas. Tank born torch that’s a fast grower and a small clam and I’m dosing about 35 mL give or take. Sometimes I need to adjust as it climbs or goes too low. But mag is an issue that I have to dose otherwise it gets too low
