2 Part addition

[xfisher]

I'm using the diy 2part the calcuim @345 alk @ 9dkh mag@1400,I've added almost a full gallon of the calcuim part and only 3oz twice of alk addition.I have not needed to add the alk supplement,I would like to see calcuim around 420 should I continue adding the cal. part/and alk un-equally based on the tank conditions?

I started @ calcuim level @320ppm,the reef calculator I used indicated I needed to add 14oz of supplement not all at once to bring my level to the desired 420ppm and after the addition I it only went up slightly in 24 hrs.,today I doubled that amount and will re-test level in the morn.

How quickly can the level be raised safely from 320 to420

re-tested today level is @420
tank size is 265g w/roughly 40g in 75 g sump.now I just have to figure what the daily comsumption is and I should be good I took my cal reactor off line and using 2part exclusively cause I need a better fed pump for my reactor.I need to do a bulb change soon so that's priority since the 2 part seems to be working great

If you use the reef volume calculator to the best of your ability, it will help keep your dosings in the correct amounts so you don't overshoot any of your params.
