cpllongjk Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 you better set up that chiller, youre going to have a rough summer! i wouldnt dare go 250w unless i bought a chiller. let me know how much heat it puts off. and if a fan is enough to cool it all off. right now my fan is good enough to do the job for my 150w...

ezcompany Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 alright guys, what would be the ideal solution for a 2 part doser and top off? Link to comment
cpllongjk Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 what i would do is this, 2part your way till ca/alk is good... then use kalk as top off... yes i know you have many sps... but i do to, about 24frags of sps and clams. i dose b-ionic to get to the right levels and top off kalk, only at night time. my levels are rock solid. ph 8.0-8.15 throught day and night dkh 10-11 ca 440-450ppm po4 is .04 anotherthing kalk does is precipitate po4, so its a very good thing to use. in my opinion.

cpllongjk Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 why dont you buy a calcium reactor, youre needs are just to much.. 70ml of each 2part seems excessive. i would try and find a more natural way of dosing. some type of reactor is needed in your case. i could see dosing 10-20ml a day of 2part but 70ml, by the time you end up paying for all that 2part, you might as well get a calcium reactor.

brshriver Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I use GARF's top off ritual from their "bullet proof reef" methodology and also add a shot of kalkwasser every morning right after the lights come on(Calfo mentions this method in his book). The kalk keeps the phosphates at 0. GARF basically recommends mixing Seachem's Reef Advantage Calcium in with top off water for the 2nd and 4th weeks of the month and Reef Builder on the third week of each month. I modified the method to add Reef Builder (for alkalinity) for three of the days of the 1st and 2nd week of the month instead. GARF also receommends dosing Reef Plus, Reef Complete, and Reef Calcium twice a week. I am not saying it is "ideal", but it seems to work. It is also not the cheapest method. The dosing adds up when dosing 20, 46 and 110 gallon tanks every week. Since I dose Kalk too, I will probably quit dosing the Reef Calcium. Link to comment
