i easily dose about 300ml of each per day if not more. I only have a 50g sps reef but they grow like wild fire.

wow...I am using brightwell A & B...they said maximum 5ml per 10G daily...I have a 90G, so max. 45ml...how can you add 300ml?

63mls of A/B for my all SPS 40g system daily

175 mls of Ca and Alk (Randys) daily (120 G mixed reef)

I am dosing about 30-35 a day and I have the same tank with about the same load

I guess it all depends on the concentration you use to start with. Different product have a different base concentration. I use the BRS and use 100ml in my 75 gallons but I first did a test to find out how much I was taking daily.

I totally agree. Do you have any idea about concentration of BRS mixes? I would like to try BRS because dosing Brightwell 100ml, for example, is expensive. Cheers.

I've only had the ghl online for about 1 month, before that I was testing lots, now only once a week trying to dial in on what is being consumed. The reason I ask the question in comparison to others, is a friend that has a 180 mixed reef on a reactor for 10 years, commented that it seemed like alot to be dosing on my setup for the size of my corals. I did'nt think so because like I said there was no signs of precip on any heat sources. That being said this is my first setup & I am surprised how quickly sps start to get to serious levels of uptake of the supplements. Soon I need more.
But growth = tre' cool

sal 1.026
Ca 420
Alk 7.5
Mg 1350
No3 2
