finally.......

[nitro069]

so i got my new brs dosers about 2 months ago and have been having trouble getting things dialed in but it looks like I'm very close if not there. did a water change yesterday and tested today and these are my readings.
alk-7.7
cal-420
mag-1400
ph-8.4
temp 79.5
salinity-1.0265
nitrates around 0 as per api kit
no clue on phosphates

Right now i am dosing 4 min/hr of cal and alk for a total of 96ml/day

what do you guys keep your parameters at and how much do you dose(if you do)

I aim to keep my
Ca  425-450
Alk 8.0-8.5

I dose about 45 mls of each, so 90 mls total, in divided doses alternating every hour.

I check my levels at the end of the month and make adjustments as necessary with my water change.
I am using IO, so during water changes I also have to supplement with additional Ca
