I have a nano 2 part reef kit laying around. According to ti I should be adding 15 ml per day of both A and B to my 60 cube. I don't have much sps, so I started doing 5 ml per day wihtout testing to be safe. Is it okay to continue this? I dont plan on dosing after the 2 part solution is finished.

Your ALK and CAL are driven by whats in the tank. to say a static number is silly and will not yield the best results.
You need to test.

Don't dose if you don't need it. You don't plan on dosing in the future. No need to dose without testing

Sorry you can't make the best of something without starting some were.
That some were is your parameters
that is the starting point of 2 part dosing.

People own reef tanks and not test kits? Why waste time and money? People are weird. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

You are right now just wasting your 2 part..
As everyone else has said. Start testing. 5ml may be the right amount but you'll never know "winging" it.

No. Alk and Ca are intertwined. You will kill your tank.

Stop dosing all together if you do not test your parameters you don't know we're you are at doing one or the other may swing something the wrong way and kill your whole tank...
Another thing to note, when you dose 2part/3 part you need to actively remove the compounds from the tank via water changes -at least 20% per month.
If you don't you will have salinity issues amongst other buildup.
Purchase a set of test kits and go from there.
