Dosing???
 
I am starting to get a wide variety of corals in my aquarium so I figure it may be time to start dosing. I am recording my Mag, Alk and Calcium over the next week to see how much everything drops. What I am wondering is what is everyone's technique for dosing and what products you're using? I only have a 29g so I am not going the reactor route. Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks alot,
Steve

Find out how much you are loosing (like you plan to do) then add the corresponding amounts according to the directions listed on the products you are dosing with.

I use B-ionic 2 part and mag, a bit pricey but I love the stuff.

Same as you, I'm currently recording what my DT is using
Once I get an average, I plan on having individual containers with a weeks worth of pre-mixed each that I will add a daily dose from
Ideally I'd like to get 700ml containers and add 100ml/day

Oh, I'm currently using Seachem Reef Builder and Reef Advantage, and Kent Tech M
Once I'm more comfortable with dosing, I'll switch to less costly products

+1 on the b-ionic. I've always had great success with it

I do weekly water change and three days after weekly dosing. I have a small 26g tank and use coral builder for alk. And fluval three ions ca,mg,st. I have a lot of coral in tank and found this works good
