Default Dosing

So after a bit of talk about WC and cost and dosing I though I may try it out. I have

Kent marine reef booster for alk
Sea chem calcium advantage

I would like to make liquid form rather than putting powder into aquarium.
Is there a standard mix in which peopl use the dose ml from there

Like 50 dkh then figure out tank volume and ml added a day

Haha. So you are getting into dosing too

Through all my calculations, I have found out that bulk is the best method. Get the powder, mix it in water and done. Cheapest

i would forgo the "brand name" stuff and just buy the bulk stuff from Elias over at cacaoreef. You'll get much more for your money and all you need is a couple measuring cups and RODI water and a storage container.

get yourself a cheap doser (i use the kamoer which has the same internals as the bubble magus units) and you're golden!
