What one dose does
PARAMETER
1 ml / 100 L
Alkalinity
+0.0278 dKH
To raise alkalinity by 1 dKH in 100 L: 36 ml.
Maker’s daily maximum: 159 ml per 100 L (159 ml for 100 L).
How it’s used
Dose equal volumes of A, B and C daily, separately. Set the daily volume from measured Ca/Alk consumption (30 ml of each per 10 US gal adds ~15 ppm Ca and ~2.2 dKH).
Cautions
• Add the three solutions separately and in equal volumes; never mix them (precipitation)
• Dose at well-circulated spots or three separate spots
• Salinity creeps up slowly; correct with water changes/top-off
• Max 60 ml of each part per 10 US gal per day
