Top 5 Things People Do Wrong When Dosing Calcium & Alkalinity

[@liquidpapersynth]

Love the no B.S.approach. There is so much of it in this hobby one could easily drown.

[@ogreeftanks9398]

Your explanation makes a lot of sense. I have been watching dosing videos and reading books etc. on the subject for years, but your video was the easiest to understand.

[@aussied723]

Free no bullshit advice, love your work 👍

[@AnimalKING]

I died laughing when he said kicked in the pus

[@trietnguyen6070]

"For equality purposes" lmao

[@briankavanagh7191]

Marine life, we are stumped with the non-binary people, where do we kick them 🤣 🤣

[@mr.brownplumbing]

This video changed everything i felt about this guy. Great informative video. With facts. Well put together as far as not leaving out information

[@billshreeveable]

Hah! Your one of the best on KZbin and originally real, thanks for the help on this great topic!

[@260fa]

That’s why I like this guy. Straight to it

[@dannybellew9557]

Travis, excellent content, especially for newbies to reefing (like me). Finding your channel to be an excellent resource, so wanted to say a sincere "Thank You"! 👍

[@jonathancollins9831]

Damn! Your tank is looking friggin GREAT bro!! Really sweet seeing this thing grow, good job brotha

[@ousmanediallo-ne6mf]

I love the conclusion part of the video when he said “ if you dislike the video just unsubscribe and move on...!!😂😂😂

[@awilson500]

I appreciate how real you are! I need more straight to the point content. Started my tank in February using dry dead rock for the first time. My ugly brown stage has been going strong ever since. I hate it. I'm about to go all Rico and throw 50 turbo snails on it.

[@Everyday_Aquarist]

Amazing video bud! Not a topic alot of other reef keepers feel comfortable talking about.

[@dudepros]

Your rant nearly made me piss myself! haha been sub'd for a long time with no regrets!

[@heidisfishtank7543]

Fish of hex pH buffer rant always makes me smile.

[@Bob-ww7ot]

Great video. Thx The growth in ur tank is insane. Looks amazing

[@Ianrday7777]

Thank you very much, this is the best explanation of dosing I have seen. It helped me out a lot 👍 subscribed

[@urbansuccess8265]

My new favorite channel 💯!!!!

[@markc6424]

Nice video lad, very good tips and info delivered in a no nonsense way

[@Sysgen]

I enjoy being around people with the conviction to say what needs to be said.

[@stephensmith8317]

Back to the old days, love the attitude please keep it up

[@sparrlow]

thanks so much for posting these advice videos! im just getting into the hobby and im looking around at as many different sources of information as I can, and videos like yours have been super helpful. Your corals all look so beautiful, I hope I can have tanks like yours someday!!

[@m.adis.1936]

are those monos?

[@AllegiancePressureWashing]

Hey man. Thanks for all your content and hard work making such well thought out videos. I’ve been collecting all my equipment to start a 55gal reef little by little and learning a lot in the meantime. 👍

[@margaretkamm4248]

This is the best video on dosing. Thank you! I'm just starting to wander into dosing my tank and I can never get good info on it.

[@rockyrocks6]

this is both hilarious and informative. you win!

[@erica.5583]

Thanks! That’s a bad ass monti cap btw!! Very nice reef!!

[@madzoanthids1122]

Yes.... thank you for cutting through all the marketing BS and actually helping people setup builds for success. Keep those videos rolling....

[@jamesmorrison1166]

Great video, simplifies the whole dosing thing greatly. Thanks.

[@AquaSplendor]

I'm currently losing near 15 ppm of Alkalinity, almost 1 dkh, per day! In my 120L (33g) mixed tank. I use Coral Pro with their high value, so i don't dose much calcium and pretty much nothing for magnesium. Love your video.

[@nathanqwerty1]

such good info in this vid!!! all beginners need to watch this! nice one

[@benherbold4000]

Great content !!

[@eroggero]

Lots of great content, but FYI for me I like to have my duh at 9.8-10, but when doing a water change the new mix is usually 8.2 so I actually add some all to new water so I don’t drop my dkh after water change.. keep up the great work

[@matyas4878]

Absolutely agree. Great video

[@miltonnazario21]

thank you for sharing your knowledge on reef

[@DeeFromBrooklyn]

Great advise, most folks i see dosing are adding additives and they have no idea what they are adding them for.

[@PicoLatrinidad]

Just started my small 28gal reef tank which I got established already. I do have 5 other freshwater tanks and a koi pond. Was stressing on this dosing thing with so many products out there until I watched this video. Guess I should buy test kits first and go from there. Thanks!

[@marcussreef]

Lol to funny. Subscribed after seeing this video. Seen a few and like the realistic approach you have to helping folks. Keep kicking and happy reefing.

[@iglapsu88]

Thanks Travis!

[@ferrari_guy3570]

I have a 10-gallon tank with one branching coral in it. Looks like I don't have to dose it because of my water changes every two weeks. This video just saved me some money brotha.

[@anniejefferson8136]

So helpful this morning with new doser. OMG thxs

[@tylerjaax4917]

Telling it like it is... I dig it! I love your videos. I use Kalk with 2 part and it took me some time to figure out how they interact. Now that things are rock solid and stable for about 18 months, I save a ton of money on two part.

[@lucasrios7355]

Thanks for this video! Def help me understand more and clear up some things! Ima show this video to my dad. He needs to watch it!

[@opethmike]

Okay, it's normally not my sense of humor, but the delivery of the nuts/pus line made me laugh out loud. So thank you not only for the education, but the chuckle as well.

[@SirPaulB]

Amazing knowledge! Great video! Thanks!

[@rrrreefer9721]

This is the kinda content that just makes you say Hell Yeah!

[@NaTopcho]

Hey Travis, you are the best dude, I love your vids and actually because of you I am in the hobby. Best of luck for the new 2019 and I hope you are getting better.

[@yadieldiaz6395]

Keeping an eye on your dkh it’s important because if it drops your Calcium will sky rocket and if your dkh it’s to high you’ll see the skeletons of your corals grow fast but not the tissue and magnesium keeps Calcium an Alk from binding so it’s very important to do your tests. Awesome video bud no bullshit in it and I really like that 💯👍🤟

[@ericalexander7194]

Great video, was thinking about using that pH buffer glad I watched this video b4 thx

[@ghazanfaransari]

Very informative. Helped me in rectifying my mistakes. Thanks a lot. Your videos help us in making our eco systems more balanced and lively. Thanks again.

[@dg6187]

Great video as always keep them coming!

[@kernpierre5103]

Thanks for this video...I started two part dosing started increasing dose thinking it wasn working and lost a lot of soft corals....will start on water change and not dose and see what happens...thanks!

[@Manniejr310]

🤣 nice ending on #3 🙌🏼

[@rosedonnapur]

Just did my tests on Hannah calcium was 343 and alkalinity was 6.7 so I think I need to dose this was a verry helpful video

[@flyfree2574]

Very informative best video on the subject .Thanks for the very clear explanation subbed!

[@marcushardaway8621]

Lovely tank

[@Sedona_FD3S]

I LOVE YOU. Thank you

[@jordanwilde7421]

Excellent video

[@nealjweinstein]

Hey kind of confused around 4:00 when you mention to add calcium with alk. Even if it it's already where it needs to be

[@augukern9708]

Hello. Well It was thought that corals get stressed with salinity ,ph and temperature fluctuations , recently I heard light changes cause them stress and here with the alkalinity wow.)

[@PufferLover]

Thanks a lot for the info! I really enjoyed it! I was making that mistake of adding two parts in two different amounts. Lesson learned 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@MereReef]

When you say to dose in equal parts like 10ml or alk and calc what if the mixture cal/alk solution has a different ratio of 1:2 or does it still not matter? Some people say to dose more alk and less calcium etc so thats why i ask

[@reeferexplained8846]

Yep me too I dose 10ml Alk every hour from 10am- 3pm and always at 9dkh and dosing 10ml in the evening once on calcium its always at 480. But recently my alkalinity has dropped to 8dkh not sure why calcium is at 480. Here is my question do I up kh 10ml dosing 4pm and 5pm and test 24 hrs later or up my calcium to match exactly my dosing of alkalinity. It's 69 gal tank with Lps corals and couple of sps corals. Using hanna checker and salfert for kh test so it's correct. After water change every 10 days I replace 60litres and kh back to 9.4 and cal at 480. What's best in uk 🇬🇧 not dosing 2 part brs using aquaforest kh buffer power mixed in 2litre dosing container 80grams and same 80grams calcium from aquaforest power.

[@FishOfHex]

[@ericwilmoth395]

FishOfHex Aquatics what epoxy do you use to fuse your rock?

[@sambloomfield5757]

hi dont no if you will know this but do you no how meany dkh your tank tacks a day just so i no how much it tacks on a well grow in tank do no if you will no coz you use a calcium reactor dont have any experience wive one thanks so much thanks for the grat video

[@ProducerReef]

Thank You for this video!!!!!!!!!

[@tasanastasi7799]

Excellent !! as always great advice any particular order when dosing the chemicals manually and time lapse between dosing ? .... ..On another note , can you please do a video on how to feed the corals .. " Coral Feeding Challenge" ..it really is on many levels . I have a deep tank 90 cm and also lots of fish that keep hammering my corals when i try and feed them very annoying sometimes i bash them on the head to get out of the way ... Help

[@RipVanWinkle_Nature_Discovery]

Beautiful tank. Love the saltwater mono's. I have them also. Great advice too.

[@joanngerena6411]

Very informative thanks. I’m dosing reef pro a and b. My alk is 11.1 and my calcium is 383 on a Wednesday. My water changes are on sundays with Red Sea coral pro. Do you recommend me dosing calcium separately on top of the 2 part?

[@douglasachaiba7885]

Good day. New to dosing. Heard you say than if your alk is low and calcium is high or even normal equal parts are to be used. So let's say I need 15 MLS to raise my alk, do I have to dose 15 MLS of calcium? And when dosing like that, do I dose hours apart or a few minutes with regards to adding the alk and cal?

[@goodall1bay]

please do a video on best way to clean equipment. trying to get a big skimmer clean at the moment and I'm sure there is an easier way.

[@krwtrner]

I don’t dose 2 part I dose mecoral all and calcium should I still be dosing equal parts?

[@BillyPipes]

When is the best time of day to dose alk and cal?

[@kashbrown603]

I have a canister and a HOB fuguim with skimmer and a good media to keep in my canister to support my tank?

[@ecoairseacargo1620]

How do I decrease Alkanity, calcium, magnicium. I am new to coral reef tank. Please advise.

[@colingrant1842]

So if I have a tank that is consuming a lot of alkalinity but not much calcium and dosing 20 ml a day of both calcium and alkalinity I should up the dose to let’s say 40 ml a day to both the alkalinity and calcium rather than keeping the calcium at 20ml and raising the alkalinity dosage to 40 ml?

[@kamilawright5665]

So my Ca is 480, Kh 7.6/7,9, and Mag 1350 I was dosing just 2 part trying to bring my Kh up but after this video I’m doing it wrong 🤦🏼‍♀️ so how I can start bring it my Kh up dosing both parts? I’m want to raise it to 8.4.

[@miketube6662]

Hi If ive got to dose 50 ml of alk should i dose one hit or two x 25 ml in a redsea 250

[@nicolekarisny3076]

what do u do if to high. mine stays high 10.3-13

[@SirPaulB]

I dont understand why i should dose both parts when my alk is low (6.7) and ca is high (475). Can i not dose alk only for a week or two to bring it back up to 7.5-8? I dont do water changes. Please explain

[@Ivanmx5_]

That powder blue tang is having a blast in that tank .

[@unnammed3673]

what do you mean by equal parts of calcium and alk? So if you had a bottle of calcium and a bottle of alk if you needed 50 ml of alk would you does 50ml of cal.

[@tinabloomfield7228]

Testing first is always the way to go. So far all I've ever had to dose is ALK. My Calcium barely budges.

[@sovereignviper90]

Thank you just thank you lol 👏👏. Keep on reefing man

[@nicolekarisny3076]

show step by step putting a uv on sump to big tank

[@brian17691]

say your dkh is at 7 and you want it at 9. would you need 100ml of dkh per day all at once or through out the day ? what measurement would you start out with?

[@Danzo285]

Love the rage at the end. Ps i did like it.

[@jjreef3523]

Nice content, will like to know about calcium reactor and color program, will love to know how r dosing it with ca reactor
