if you are not sure of what you are doing--here is a suggested plan ----
measure your calcium and alkalinity, and mag which you have done
See how far off you are from 400ppm calcium and 9.00 alkalinity
Use the chemistry calculator that Bertoni suggested
Use Kent turbo calcium to bring up your calcium level to 400
Use Kent supper dKh to bring up you alkalinity level
Now start the90 mL of two part for one week--and remeasure the levels.
If you are very close to the starting measurements continue with no adjustment
Second week repeat but this time if it has dropped off alot that you need to dose then start with a little more two part and continue for one more week
repeat the above--over a month it will graaaadully stablize out and you won't experience the seesaw dosing that alot of reefers get into
again this worked for me so it is just an anecdotal suggestions
