How much of Randy's 2 part do you use?

[BIGGUN]

What are your tank sizes and parameters and how much of Randy's two-part supplement do you use?

Do you consider your tank High, medium, or low demand?

Looking for a good starting point.
In the article for my 90 + sump(30) it seemed like 80 ml of each daily would be a good start, But in a thread that I can't find again it looked like 4 ml was suggested for each which seems LOW.

Thanks,
Kevin

Which recipe are you using, or going to use?

Randy,

I'll be using # 1.

Thanks,

Using the baked baking soda recipe you have to be more careful to not raise the pH too much.

The best way to tell how much is needed is by trial and error for any given aquarium (which will vary based in its calcium and alkalinity demand).

I'd suggest starting at about 40 mL of each part and see what happens after a few days. Alkalinity is the best guide as to whether you are under or overdosing as it is much more sensitive to changes than is calcium.

Thanks Randy.
