Dissolve in at least\n250 mL (1 cup) of freshwater. Check alkalinity every 2 weeks and adjust amount\nor frequency accordingly. For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon\nScale. Advanced Check alkalinity (use MultiTest Marine pH \u0026amp; Alkalinity to test\nalkalinity levels), then follow addition regimen above until alkalinity is\nadjusted to 3-6 meq\/L (8-17 dKH). Each 3 g\/150 L will raise alkalinity by\nabout 0.25 meq\/L. Quantity or frequency can be adjusted, but do not exceed 12\ng\/150 L per day. Thereafter, use as required to maintain alkalinity. Expert\nAfter determining the alkalinity consumption rate, set up a continuous drip\nsystem. Use the following formula (or skip the math and use our Dosage\nCalculator) to determine how much to add to your top–off water: m=0.08va\n(m=grams to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in liters, a=amount to\nraise alkalinity in meq\/L). For example, if you want to raise your alkalinity\nby 1 meq\/L in a 200 liter tank, then you would add 0.08x200x1=16 g into the\ntop–off water. [For reference: 1 gallon=3.8 liters, 6 g=1 teaspoon]. DO NOT\nOVERDOSE: Excess alkalinity may enhance the loss of calcium, magnesium, and\nstrontium. Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium\nsupplement. Best if calcium \u0026amp; carbonate additives are added on alternate days\nor at least 30 minutes apart.

Reef alkalinity should ideally be maintained at 3-6\nmeq\/L (8-17 dKH). Alkalinity should not be allowed to fall below 2 meq\/L. It\nis advisable to make large adjustments slowly to avoid overshooting intended\nlevel or shocking corals and inverts. Dissolve in at least one cup of\nfreshwater.
