    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?

    I was at about 60ml of alk/cal before I started having issues with my chemistry (manual dosing), but mine was on a system with about half your water volume.

    i don't really know... i could tell you how many seconds I drip them ;)

    all mine are on timers and pumps. but I can say I dose Mg once every 2-3 months. I find one bigger dose is better than a lot of small ones as far as my stability goes.

    I let it fall 100 points and then dose.

    the other two i do daily.
