Calling all Dosers, How much do you dose?

[pvh]

So my tank is pretty kinda full (mostly frags or small colonies) but not really heavily packed with large colonies size SPS. However I've noticed that I had to dose around 600 ml of ALK and CA daily. That seems to be a lot but not sure if that's normal or not. I have a 90 G tank. I'm using Randy's two parts and have been testing regularly.

I was just wondering how much do you dose and how much SPS and LPS do you have in your tank?

When I was dosing 2 part I was up to 900 ml. daily.
But,I had a very large orange cap back then.
Now I top off with kalk.

How much kalk do you go through a day?

I go through 1.5g per day of supersaturated kalk (kalk + vinegar) and dose 60ml per day of each part A and B of C-Balance.

How much kalk do you go through a day?

I go through about 20 gallons a week.But I also run a wood stove in the basement,so evaporation is much more in winter.

I dose 12 ml of each daily

I'm dosing about 450 ml's of each part daily in my 90gal.

OK I feel much better now...I just thought something was wrong that I was dosing too much.

Don't feel bad Peter. I have been dosing about 250ml/day, and I am running a reactor. I have to figure out why my reactor won't/can't keep up with the demand of my tank.

I need to find better/larger containers than 1 gallon containers to use. Any suggestion?

BRS sells 2.5 gal. clear containers. They are tall so 2 fit next to my 44 gal. sump inside my stand. Dosers mount above the containers.

I use a 5G bucket for mixed Kalk, approx 1.5g per day. I dose that once per hour on top of my Calc reactor and still have a hard time keeping up.
You can use 5G RO water jugs from poland spring etc. but they do dry out and crack over time with Kalk.
