How do I raise my calcium with a dosing pump

[b_roddd720]

Hello my Calcium currently sits at 365 ppm and all at 10.8 dkh, total water volume is 60 gal. I would like to know how I can bring it up with a dosing pump. Apparently I need 214ml of BRS Calcium to raise it up to 400ppm.

Do you have a dosing pump?  Which one?

I have an Aquamedic dosing pump.

So do you just need programming help for the doser?  (You might want to update the thread title to include the doser brand and model name or number.)

 

Is this the right manual?

Why are you wanting to bring up the ca with a dosing pump?🤔. Normally dosing pumps are used to dose daily to MAINTAIN levels. If you need to make a correction dose by hand. You can safely raise ca 50-100 ppm a day. Just so your comfortable dose half the amount the brs ca says by hand into a high flow area. Test the next day then dose up the rest😎🤙 

 

If you need to dose 2 part that is an entirely different question and long answer🤣

 

Happy reefing

Thanks guys I kinda figured I would need a manual dose. 😂 I guess at the moment I panicked and didn't think right. I dosed half the recommended then dosed half the next day I'm at 425ppm now and happy 😂. All is staying stable at 10.5DKH for the past few days. I'm planning to add a clam so I wonder how much of the available elements it will suck from the water.
