2 Part Users, How Much are you Dosing

[jhale]

I'm curious how much, and how often others are dosing with 2 part additives.

I have a light to medium stocked 120G tank and I'm adding 50ml of each a day. I have a aquamedic doser set to dispense the 2 part once every 24 hours. I'm dosing with Spykes 2 part mix (randys formula).

I dose with mg when the tank needs it using seachems mg buffer.

I left out the 40g in the 55 sump

 

[nyumpa]

i dose A=10 B=10 on a 25g(15g sump filled 90%)
tank is packed with LPS's and some monti's

 

[Pseudo]

90g with 20g in sump - 2 part ESV - Alk 100ml - cal 60-70ml.

Kasei

 

[MO~IDOL]

I does 2ml A&B daily to keep in range for my 75g and 20g sump

 

[Deanos]

65g LPS/zoas w/15g sump

I drip kalkwasser 24/7 replacing evaporated water, supplemented by 10ml of ESV B-Ionic Parts 1 & 2 daily. I dose ESV Mg as needed.

ESV B-Ionic. 20ml Part 1 & 2 every morning.

Never ever mess with magnesium. 10% water changes every week.

250ml of each part daily (Randy's)

 

[loismustdie]

260 gallons of water. 300 ml each daily. Randy 2 part.

 

[herman]

120g 55ml Randy 2 part daily

 

[meschaefer]

In the RK colum where Randy gives the instructions for making his two part supplement, he gives dosing guidlines.

There are two different versions of Randy's two part, one requires twice as much as the other. Dependeing on the formulation, he suggests 1-2ml per day/per gallon for a heavy SPS tank. .5 - 1ml a day/per gallon for a mixed tank. Adjustments should be made from there.

:lol2: Your SPS must be kicking arse! That's double the most heavily loaded tanks recommendation.

Coming back with a vengence to say the least!

:shhh: I am dosing about the same amount. The tank is sucking the two part up.

Does anybody dose automatically? I'm thinking of getting a litermeter III! but it's really expensive, :irked: .

Well you got that monster clam. How big is it now? I see the litermeters on RC every so often. Ill let you know when I come accross it.

 

[jackson6745]

Herm the clam is dead

Shaun, the growth has been pretty good the last few months. I started dosing 90ml/day and slowing increased to 250 as needed. In my 65gal I used to dose 200ml each part of bionic before switching to a reactor. I have also been dosing manually but I plan on getting an aquamedic doser.
You must be growing some serious acros to be dosing so much as well. I want to come see your tank. LMK what nights you're free.

I'm using a 2 pump aquamedic, works great the two weeks it's been up so far. I think it was only 220.00 @ marine depot.

you might be able to find something in your lab that could work also

rich im thinking about stoping by shaun's place to check out my hoeki. lemme know when your planning to go.
