I am slowly switching over from a FOWLR to setting up my reef tank and plan on using a 2-part dosing. I was told that this may be difficult as I have a 150g DT.

I was planning on going with Bulkreefsupply's larger set for 2-part dosing. Was also suggested that I look into dosing Kalk. How would I go about doing this?

All suggestions welcome!

I don't see why it would be difficult at all. I use limewater, but a two part can be a great choice, and my DIY recipes sold by Bulk Reef are a fine economical choice.

I compare methods here:

Great article. Is there a specific brand of 2 part that you would recommend. (sorry for the hi jack)
