How much Alk/Ca consume per week?
Well I changed my Alk test to Elos recently and been monitoring my Alk better. I loose 1dKh per 4 days (2dKh per week) in a low stocked 80G system.
I have 20 head of Candy Cane and about 100 heads of zoa, 3"x3" GSP and 2 small leather. I had 10ml of baking soda every 4 days between test to keep it around 8.5dKH (it drop to 7-7.5dKh). I have a fairly medium bioload (lots of fish, 1/2 are clown goby). So how are yours? I'm starting to look at getting more LPS/SPS and I'm thinking of DIY a dosing system.

I put in 8 oz of Randy's #2 Alk daily, and 8 oz of Randy's #1 Ca (prestone) every other day.
Levels are Ca - 432ppm Alk - 10 dhh Mag - Never tested it...

( i dint do the lime water thing yet.. dint feel like messing with it.. cuz it takes a little while to get the right amount i need for my holding tank.. )
