Just seeing how my tank compares to everyone else's. I dose 100 ml of each in a sps/lps dominated 90 with 5 gallon weekly water changes.

Ca 410
Alk 9
Mg 1200

What do you guys dose to meet your own levels?

Depends on your tank. I would start with 20 ML of each a day to start out with then move up. It is ok to have to little to start off with. To much is a real problem.

100 ml isn't a very large dose, but it's reasonable. I dose about 60 ml per day of the recipe 2 into a 29g tank with one clam and some Halimeda.

Do you have alot of SPS or clams mg429? I am guessing you do not have a reactor?

I have been dosing for 5 years. I just thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else was dosing. It has gone up steadily over the years, even after going to weekly water changes.
