I haven't seen any noticeable change other than Mg being stable (relative to 2 part). Colors and growth are consistent, can't say whether 3 part made it better or not since I changed my lighting too and things went to crazy growth mode.

The main thing you will see if stability, coral colour change is subjective to many variants, but in time as your system become less out of balance you will see increased growth.

Hey Michael,

so just clarify for me if you would

I tested the tank and have 415 Ca, 8.8 Alk, 1155 Mg. So my understanding is I should bring my Alk down to 7-8 and my MG up to 1300 before starting to dose the 3-Part system in unison. Now do I continue to manually dose the Part A to keep my Calcium up, and dose the Part C a little heavier (but no more than 125ml according to the box) to get my Mg up? That means I'd not dose Part B since I want my Alk to come down? I made a 2x concentration 1L solution of Part C that I am dosing with to get the Mg up.

Thank you for the clarification. I am all in to the ™ system now. Salt, 3-Part… GHL doser haahaa.

Anyone watch Breaking Bad

worry about one element at a time, bring the ALK down to below 8 and then test the Ca, your Ca will rise slightly due to the relationship of ALK to Ca, (too much alk = lower or suppressed Ca and visa versa.)

Once you have those two balanced then the MG will rise to a degree and then you can balance this.

Well a few months in, alk is 7 calcium is 390 but mag is at 1050

Dosing 250 ml of a and b and 500 ml of c and still the mag is dropping like mad. I'll have to check what the mag level is with my new salt. If its low can I bring it bring it up by dosing part c into the water or is there a better supplement to use.

Thanks
