Powdered version of supplements tend to be less potent. I know for instance the RedSea Alk liquid is much stronger than if you mix the powder yourself.
Agreed with the above. Hanna while great (I still use them) I have saliferts as backups. Do get yourself a dosing unit and then just monitor it weekly it takes a lot off your plate and less to worry about.
Yup np at all. I literally run the exact same tank setup so I'm familiar with the dosing. I have to dose about 17ml of alk a day to just to keep it steady at this point.
if you are using Red Sea Alk 4ML would barely touch your levels. If you want to actually bring the levels up you will need to dose at least 30ml in a day. That will bring you up roughly 1 DKH.
Per the instructions 10ml for 25g will increase 1dkh so x 3 for roughly 75g of water.
Do you have access to a secondary testing kit? Salifert maybe? How big is your tank? Are you dosing Alk and Cal at the same time? Do you have a lot of stony corals? LPS/SPS
What dosing supplement are you using?
I had mine in a very high flow area and people would come to my house and confuse them for a torch. It may take a while yo adjust to the flow but be patient.
