How much 2-part do you dose?

I'm just curious to see how much 2-part solution you guys dose. In my 75 gallon (90 gallons total volume) I dose about 50mL of Calcium and Alkalinity daily, and about 80mL of Magnesium weekly. I have 13 SPS corals (mostly frags) and a few LPS and Zoanthids. How about everyone else?

For my 58 and 75 I dose about 100 ML 5 times a week.

As for Mag, maybe 66 ML once a month, my weekly water changes keeps it around 1200.

Wouldn't the dosing depend on the particular 2-part you're using? I would think some of them are more potent than others.

I dose 45 ml Alk and Calc daily. Havent had to dose Mag for almost a year.

Possibly. I use Bulk Reef Supply's recipe 1.
