Once you're parameters are at the correct levels how do you figure out how much to dose to keep those levels stable?
How much 2 part to dose?

John, I'm at that exact stage too. Here is a good start:

I'm pretty lucky as Neptune is only a 5 minute drive from my office. So I test my water there frequently. I do have Elos test kits for CA MG and API for Alk, but I can never get them to read as the same result as Neptune (i think they use Salifert kits). But overall, once you know your parameters are good, I guess you can use any test kit just as long as your are consistent with one, therefore getting the same readings.

Every tank is different. Take a look at this. This should give you a general idea on where to start.
