Dosing component 1,2,3.

drawman · 04/04/2016, 10:18 AM

I want to switch over to dosing the AF Balling method. I will either do the Component 1,2,3 or mix them from Cal,kH,Mag,Reef Minerals, etc.

My question is if I automate Component 1 and 2 to dose daily can I dose the Component 3 (Reef Minerals) by hand 1x weekly? I have two single dosing pumps and don't want to upgrade just yet. Not sure if that would be too much of a swing with the reef minerals. My consumption of Ca/Alk isn't that much just yet.

We recommend to dose every fluids in the same dose.

But if I dose a weeks worth of the reef minerals once a week and then dose the calcium and alkalinity daily would that still be okay? Obviously not ideal but I would imagine it wouldn't be too stressful on acropora correct?

To maintain ion balance , we recommend use Reef Mineral Salt. Daily -daily and in the same dose as Ca,Kh,Mg.
