Fishie March 3, 2012 March 3, 2012 I am trying to configure this thing.. First question...is it essential that It be mounted vertically.. Just wondering if I can mount it sideways... 2nd question lets say I plan to go with the brs calculator and dose 0.4 Ml per gallon does that mean 0.4 of ca and Alk or 0.2 of each... Thx
zygote2k March 3, 2012 March 3, 2012 Before you are going to dose, have you determined the amount of consumption?
Coral Hind March 3, 2012 March 3, 2012 It would operate vertically but the hoses can kink so I wouldn't recommend it that way unless you can do something with the hoses to prevent that.
Fishie March 3, 2012 Author March 3, 2012 Before you are going to dose, have you determined the amount of consumption? I measured my cal which is 320 and my kh was 120 so dkh is around 6.4 So for starters I was going to raise the cal by 50 over day aiming for 420 by 2-3 days... Then I was going to raise Alk by 1.4 per day so aroun 7.8 by day 1 and stopping at around 9 by day day 2 Once I have those two at the set amounts I was going to start with a small dose of 0.2ml per gallon since I have very few corals ATM...so roughly 130 gallons of water ...again I have 135 cube with 40 some gallon sump...so 130 gallons of water would be a higher assumption considering there rock etc.. So anyways I am starting with 26 ml per day of ca and Alk each I haven't measured my mag yet so no dosing for that ATM.
