use mag prolly only once a week...if that. get a mag test kit before you dose the mag part....
you need to test to see where you are at as far as cal. and alk. then you dose to get everything where you want it....meaning, you may dose CA and not alk for a few times...or vice versa....once youre where you want, you then add equal parts daily or whenver your tank needs it....
with my light bioload, I am keeping stable alk at 9 and ca at 420 without dosing for 3 or 4 days....
instructions and a reef calculator on the bottle.
dont just start dumping...bottom line, test for a few days every day to see where you are at and the consumption rates....keep a piece of paper if needed....otherwise you might as well be blindly pouring stuff in your tank....
this is a bit of a chore at first, but in the process, you;ll get to know your tank better, and thats a good thing....
