Dosing

[Charley]

Seems like my tank goes through alkalinity, calcium and magnesium quickly. averaging 200-250ml each per week. I have a red sea 450 reefer approx 125 gals in total including sump. About 8 gals of water evaporate each week, maybe a touch more. Rarely if ever do water changes. Tank looks great. Very few corals: zoas, mushrooms, 1 bubble gum digi, a milli, some monti's...all doing well. Dosing schedule: The ML is what I added

Hey Charley are you manually dosing? I have a 425 and dose around 170ml each of alk and cal and rarely ever dose mag. What brand are you dosing?

 

[Charley]

Hey Joe yes still manually dosing usually once a week. ESV. Most surprised how the mag goes down. corals are all good.
