Did you do what you need to do first and check what your levels are before you dose. everyones tank is different and your dosage will be different depending on what your tank uses up within a day.

Check your levels (Before dosing ANYTHING)
ALK
Cal
Magnesium

Thx Tony
I do test obsessively(if that's a word) lol!
I just upgraded from a 90g and can't believe how much more alk the tank is taking than before! That's whAt brought on my curiosity!
Thx again

Since your testing, which is important as you never know if your over dosing, get it to the level you want, then wait the amount of days you want to be dosing (daily, weekly) then recheck and see how much you need to dose, thats how much to dose. But still check often.

I just started using the red sea test kits and they tell you how much you need to dose from the test, seems to be nice test kits so far, for sure the best ive used.

Thx dog
I have those test kits as well but didn't realize they give you that info! I will be reading those directions asap!

I dont think its on the test kit its on the additve and different brands will be different dosages, i dont know if you have the red sea alk or just the brightwell.

Also Brightwells has 2 versions...regular and nano. The nano is less concentrated. Bottles look almost the same.
