Only dose when water changes are not able to keep up with consumption rates (Alk, Cal, Mag).

Once you determine you must dose to supplement the water changes you'll need to calculate the consumption rate by testing a few days to a week apart and divide the difference in results by the number of days. That gives you the daily consumption rate of that nutrient.

Example 8.0 Alk drops to 7.0 in 5 days. Consumption rate is .2dKH daily. Use the BRS online calculator to get the dosing volume for your product to match the consumption and spread the daily dose out over a few doses per day. Viola.
