How many liters of 2 part Calcium/Alk do you through per day?

[fernandokng]

I only have small frags of SPS (about 10-15), and I'm going through .35 liters of 2 part a day to maintain Calcium at 430ppm (salifert). My Mag is about 1400ppm (elos)

.35 liters/day seems a lot to me. I don't have a lot of coraline on the rocks either.

how much do you go through? And what type of tank is it?

2 part

I dose around 65ml of both calcium and ALK/day for a 75 gallon sps dominated tank. Mag 1250 Cal 430 ALK 9.6

Just wanted to clarify somethings.

I use recipe 1: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/rhf/index.php

So technically, it's more powerful than recipe 2.

I'm going at around .3liters/day = 300ml/day.

So that's a bit much I believe if I'm on a 58 gallon with only frags of SPS and very little coraline.

I use 30ml's of each on a 24gal SPS nano. I was using 250ml of each on a 120G

I use 300ml of each part of B-Ionic a day on my completely stuffed 240g.

That is a lot on a 58gal!!! Your growth must be very fast??? Do you have a current pic of your reef?

I used to add 200ml on an older 65gal. On this tank I dosed kalk and vinegar. Little did I know then that Vinegar was a carbon source. Growth was extremely fast in this tank. I had 2x 1" frags of abrolhenis stags that grew to 12" each in a little over a year. Colors were very light/faded though.

then there must be something wrong, and the growth is not worthy of 300ml/day. trust me

I go through gallons of this stuff

I use 10g (5 gallons of each) of B-Ionic in a little less than 6 months. This is in ADDITION to my calcium reactor which runs all year long.
