SRC Member vinccc2009 Posted March 6, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hi, I just started trying dosing. I have the A and B solution and a jebao dosing pump. As a start, how much should I dose? Pump is asking to input ml, when to dose and frequency. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiggie Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 How much you dose depends on how much the solution A and B is used up if your tank inhabitant uses up certain amount of solution A per day then the dosing should be set to dose the same amount throughout the day. same goes to solution B . now the question is , how much solution A and B your tank is using per day? do a test with reliable test kits and find out.

SRC Member vinccc2009 Posted March 14, 2016 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 14, 2016 Not good... 0=500mg/l 0.2=12.5dKH All too high...how to reduce? Water change? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member JMW Posted March 14, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted March 14, 2016 Personally, 12.5 is higher than normal, but not crazy high to warrant a WC.. If I were in your situation, I'd just stop dosing the alk part & let the system correct itself. Intent here is to minimize further quick KH swings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherman Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Both CA and KH also on the high side. Please stop dosing and let it deplete by itself. How is your MG?

xiggie Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I think the problem is , you started dosing A and B , without knowing what they were and did not do test to see if you even needed to dose them. Quote Stairway to Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
