how much does your tank use?

[jerl77]

looking to see how much two part you add in one day
how muck alk?
how much cal?
and what size tank

When I was using 2 part I was dosing 60ml of each in the morning. I used Brightwells Code A and B and I only had LPS and softies. I only run Kalk in my ATO now.

Running TLF Kalk reactor inline with my ATO pump on my 120, still tweaking it so I had to dose ALK 1.5oz twice in two weeks to keep it at 10dkh.

it's going to vary greatly from tank to tank even if they are the same size. It's like asking how much everyone eats in a day and how much they weigh. There are more factors than just tank size, like biomass, species, equipment, waterchanges, etc. just to name a few.

Very true, but it is still cool to see who does what when and how much.

when i used it I was over 180ml of A and B a day on my 90...I knew it was time for the reactor

i use brightwell a and b and brightwell kalk plus 2 a b is 20 -30 ml per day and i add two teaspoons of kalk to one gallon of ato water which i drip using a float at night to stable ph over night along with reverse light cycle of my fuge levels hold pretty good totalwater volume is 75 gallons i have softies lps sps clams u know the usual i like brightwell but when i first started i used all seachem and i must say i think i got better growth/ coloration with seachem. Thinking about going back i add all brightwells products i mean pretty much all he has to offer good stuff tho i might just stay with him still unsure.well that just what i do and like. works well for my tank. thanks for reading

I use a dosing pump for about 3 months now and I think Im doing 3 mls of alk an hour and 3 or 4 mls of cal per hour. I for get now that I have it set.. I use BRS and I used both brightwell and esv 2 part. I think BRS is the best bang for your buck. I have a 76 gal tank with I think its a 20 gal sump and the tank is full of sps.. Good luck in figuring it out. With out the dosing pump I was doing 30 mls of the of the alk and 34 mls of the cals. Im guessing it wasnt holding to well since Im using more then double with the pump thru out a 24 hour time frame.
