Hey fellas so i setup my auto doser today
Calibrated it and all
Current alk is 7.0
I’m using seachem - carbonate
Doser set at 10ml per day
Do you guys think it’s too much?
Should i maybe do 5mp for 5 days and test?
Advice!

Without knowing the amount of coral in your tank, it’s best to start with a low dose—10 ml should be fine. Test alkalinity daily at the same time, preferably in the evening, since alk levels can fluctuate throughout the day. Consistent timing minimizes reading variations and reduces the risk of overdosing. If your results are steady, your dose is likely good if not, adjust as needed.

Yah. I figured that’s the best route to take i was dosing 50ml before to raise it to 9.0 my goal is to get to 9.0 and keep it there so we’ll see how it goes my stock is also pretty low don’t have much atm
