onux20 September 18, 2010 Share September 18, 2010 I ran my lightly stocked 120 at 22ml/day. Depending on your stock level, I would start lower than that, maybe 15, and see where you end up after a day or so then adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origami September 18, 2010 Share September 18, 2010 go with your evap rate or set it on a float. Agreed, but test your alk levels to ensure that they don't get too high (I personally wouldn't go above 12, but if you dose a carbon source, you may want to keep alk below 9). If alk climbs too high, it's an indication that your consumption is too low and you may have to set dose less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
