    exactly

    how much have you been dosing and how did you come up with that number? iirc you said once that you dose b-ionic every day. that seems extremely high to me for a 14g with only softies. i have tons of sps in my 30g and dose every other day to keep my calcium in the 450-500 range.

    search for a post by ping in the not too distant past. he made a great post about testing for a week or two and then dosing and continuing to test to see what demands your tank has vs dosing amounts and then set a schedule to meet those demands and mentioned even keeping a spreadsheet.
