it would be nice if they had a calculator to use with other dosing pumps that works more like their app does to make adjustments according to calcium, I used their wizard to start off and depending on which one you choose {excellent-great} the monthly cost can be significantly higher than rated even at the lowest suggested dose

That's actually backwards, you wish other pumps would have the capacity to calculate the doses needed to automate the processes RD4 is doing. You can do the math yourself, but since RD4 is very accurate it takes the exact volume doesed to date and bring it into account, so it's a bit more complicated to do without knowing the all the exact variables RD4 is measuring. At the end the cost is determined by the actual uptake of your tank, The website gives a good estimate for a well stocked tank.

“I currently have two Red Sea 4 dosing pumps for my reef aquarium. I’m running the 7 Elements and NO3:PO4-X, but I plan to switch to the new ‘4-part, 1-part dosing’ supplements, which will free up three of my dosing heads. I’ve looked into this and calculated how much I use from each bottle and how long it lasts. After breaking down the costs per 100ml, I found that the new 4-bottle program is about 25% cheaper where I live. The three main benefits for me are that it costs less, frees up three dosing heads, and allows me to replace all the bottles at the same time. Currently, I have to replace them at random intervals, as they are consumed at different rates. What should I run on the other three dosing pumps? I was thinking of running Reef Energy Plus on one of the dosing heads, but it requires refrigeration after opening, which is less than ideal.”

That's great. Thanks for commenting. The other RD4 can be used for NOPOX and Energy Plus. You can hold a 7 day dose without refrigeration. Check out the Energy Plus tips and tricks for optimal use. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bILPYYWjm86oqJI

Does this increase salinity over time? Like other dosing methods?

@Redseafish 7 ай бұрын

The contribution to the salinity is negligible. Supplementing does not replace the need of water changes.

@KrayzieRyan 7 ай бұрын

@@Redseafish does that mean its different to the foundation ABC? As in my waterbox 20 by the end of the week my salinity has shot up from 1.026 to high 1.028. Dosing 1m of KH, 1ml of Cal and 0.5 mag per day

@Redseafish 7 ай бұрын

That salinity change cannot be contributed to supplementing. Top up and calibrate your refractometer each time before testing. Just for reference, you got ~11K Na; ~19K Cl ppm in saltwater. You dose a few single ppm of these along with the supplements.

The reef LED have 3 recommended programs, 15/20/23K to the corals they are all the same. Pick the one you like.

Is it normal for your alkalinity to be upwards to 13 dkh when using this product? All of my other levels are in an "acceptable" range but my alkalinity seems way high. I'm setting the calibration based on a weekly Calcium test using the Red Sea Calcium Pro test kit (just fyi).

My part four iron solution evaporated after one and a half week from the medium size kit. The lids on all solutions are slightly cracked to allow for ventilation as per instructions what happens now I only have solution for part 12 and three and zero volume for part four after buying a full kit.

Hi, the evaporation rate doesn't sound right. Please open a ticket with out support we would like to look into it. Check your ReefDose calibration to make sure you didn't overdose and check for spills around the bottle.

@ericserechen5788 7 ай бұрын

The trace elements will be taken up at a different rate that is not as easily tracked since different refugiums housing different macro Algaes will use the traces at different rates and is not as predictable as a tank without a refugium.

It will not work, just like Eric said.

@@Redseafish okay, so the issue is trace elements being consumed by the macros. But! Is there any danger of using this 4 part and causing an overdose or will it just not be perfectly stable numbers for the trace elements. I mean this solution has got to be better that only dosing calcium and alk right?

Später wird wesentlich mehr kh als calcium verbraucht. Also muss kg der Treiber sein nicht calcium!!

@Redseafish 7 ай бұрын

It's actually not true, as the lead element taken by corals is the Ca, the KH is being taken by other processes as well, so basing trace dosing on KH can offset the balance of the trace elements.

For me it be a hard pass. RS make stunning videos of their products but for me why dont they make a simgle dose additive so people dont need to spend over a grand on good dosing pumps. I fell for the marketing hype on your salt mixes and what a mistake that was. Cost me alot of time and money to correct the problems the salt (black bucket) caused my system. But kudos to you Red Sea for pushing out a new product line as i really do appreciate it.

@Redseafish 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for your comment. You want a product to be both concentrated and not compromise the bio-availability of the elements to be cost effective. The Coral Pro salt is balanced and high in foundation elements, keeping your parameters at these levels will promote faster growth. Keeping them lower and doing WC with the salt can cause swings and issues. As a rule of thumb keep your water parameters at the same level as the salt you use.
