    considering switching from tropic marin pro.

    i am dosing alk/cal with my A&K elements and chateogro. would that be sufficient if i switched to the regular instant ocean? or would i still be missing something the salt was providing?

    considering switching from tropic marin pro.

    Should i buy the apex DOS?

    Is there anything special im missing? The way i see it i can get a great stand alone 3 or 4 head doser for the same price? I do have an apex and i love it but i cant see why i should buy the DOS over a stand alone unit. Any thoughts?

    When to start dosing?

    Ok its been over 2 weeks and im still not at my goal of 9dkh dosing 60ml of cal/alk i should of been there in a week. So my tank is using it but i only have a few frags. Can coralline algae really be using that much cal/alk? Its going somewhere and thats all i can come up with? Heres my alk...

    When to start dosing?

    When to start dosing?

    Uhh ya i dosed it all at once in a high flow area, calcium first then alk. Making sure it doesnt precipitate out or cloud up. Its a 210 gallon tank i didnt think 60 ml was a "large" dose. I checked alk before dosing and it went from 5.9 to 6.2 in 24hrs. Is this to fast? Also im gonna be honest...
