Joyt,

why are you dosing so much so fast? 90ml every 2 hrs? thats too much.

I run my dosers 24/7

I dose 11 ml per hour of each.

11ml x 24 hrs = 264 ml per day

Its better to dose slowly all day long then large amount quickly.

I arrived at that value easily. I did a search on RC to find what most people were dosing for my tank size. I started with that figure (9ml per hr I think it was) and fine tuned it from there.

I recently went to dosing Kalk using a reactor to lower my 2 part usage and to raise my pH. Its working beautifully.
Between running a hose to the outside for the skimmer and running Kalk my pH has gone from 77 to 8.1
