Why are you only mix so little I mean with a bigger container could you mix more or no

I could fit more. Though I’ve found if the AFR is in a container too long it kinda breaks down a gets slimy. For me 1000ml mix lasts about 20 days (50ml per day). Last year I also had a dosing pump clog and burst. It can get pretty thick and sediment-y. I’m happy to do it every 20 days to give the tank a more consistent mix and cleaner dosing pumps.

Ahh ok now I understand why you do it that way . So I started Dosing ALK Now I’m Dosing Cal also I tried AFR a few months back but when I was dosing it raised all my cal over 500 so I stopped . I’m really not at good at figuring out how to dial in a all in one mix

Hmm feel that. It’s not perfect and when one parameter is off it’s kinda annoying to get them to go up properly. I’ve been struggling to keep my ALK high enough recently with AFR so have been supplementing some alk dosing. You can start by just doing a very small amount. 5ml day and see how that affects params and slowly ramp up.

Yeah so I’m in Florida and I was using Ocean water for the first 8 months and as I stated getting more into numbers I started making my own saltwater unfortunately because the ALK was coming in at 7-7.3 Now that I’m making my own salt and dosing I’m sitting Stable at 9.2-9.5 on my Alk then out of the blue my Cal started dropping 🤦🏻♂️ slowly bring that back up yesterday it was at 425 I want it to sit between 440-460 mag it’s now at 1390 it was at 1420 . I’m also going to start introducing Phyto to them on a doser I’ll probably start that at 10 mls a day the chart from TSA says more but IDK how I feel about some of what they say
