first off a thank you for the order!

Just got some two part a few days ago and just mixed it up. Using the rest of my current 2 part before I start dosing your product…
You give guidelines for approximate ml/ gal based on load…

I figured I have a med load so that would put me at about 65ml day (130g total water volume.)

I have 130g water, 125 LR, 2-3 6”dia monti’s, and about 1 dozen 2-4” frags.
Any suggestions on the amount and frequency I need to add? Im just manually adding this until I get a doser ordered..

Thanks!

....So say if im testing in a 24hour period and find my tank uses 25ppm calcium and .5 dkH how much solution would I need to add?

Use the suggested amount to start with. you figured that out to be 65ml a day . test in a few days if you are using to much, use less , if you are not using enough , use more : ) It really is that simple.

you should be able to figure out how much to use within a week or two if you test every 3 days or so. After that test once or twice a month (when you do water changes is often convenient)

an easy way to figer out how much you need is to test for alk and cal. one day then 24 hours later test again and find out how much was used up. then figure out how much you need to add to get it back to where it was the day before and keep adding that every day. very simple IMO.
