All-For-Reef Dosing Calculator

Wet Pets All-For-Reef Dosing Calculator

Calculate a Tropic Marin All-For-Reef starting dose or fine-tune your current dose using your aquarium's measured alkalinity trend.

Starting All-For-Reef

Enter your actual system water volume. We'll calculate the manufacturer's starting dose, weekly adjustment amount, and maximum recommended daily dose.

Use actual water volume after accounting for rock, sand, equipment and sump displacement.
Recommended Starting Dose
14.2 mL/day
Weekly Adjustment Step 7.1 mL/day
Maximum Recommended Daily Dose 71.0 mL/day
Approx. 250 mL Bottle Life at Starting Dose 17 days
How to start: Begin with the calculated daily dose and monitor your aquarium. If demand is not being met, increase the daily dose by the calculated weekly adjustment amount. Do not make another scheduled increase before one week has passed.

Fine-Tune Your Current Dose

Enter two alkalinity readings taken over a known period while keeping your All-For-Reef dose unchanged. We'll use the trend to determine whether your current dose appears to be keeping up with your reef's demand.

Use actual system water volume rather than advertised aquarium capacity.
Enter your total current dose in mL per day.
3–7 days usually gives a more useful trend than reacting to a single test.

Wet Pets Recommendation
Maintain Dose
Current Daily Dose 15.0 mL/day
Suggested Daily Dose 15.0 mL/day
Weekly Adjustment Step 7.1 mL/day
Total Alkalinity Change -0.20 dKH
Average Alkalinity Trend -0.03 dKH/day
Maximum Recommended Daily Dose 71.0 mL/day
Approx. 250 mL Bottle Life at Suggested Dose 16 days
Stable trend. Your alkalinity is essentially stable. Maintain your current daily dose and continue monitoring.
Important All-For-Reef Guidance
  • All-For-Reef is intended for balanced ongoing supplementation rather than rapid one-time alkalinity correction.
  • Keep your daily All-For-Reef dose unchanged while measuring an alkalinity trend.
  • Take alkalinity tests under similar conditions and preferably at approximately the same time of day.
  • Large water changes, dosing changes, testing variation, new coral additions and changes in coral growth can affect short-term trends.
  • Periodically verify calcium, magnesium, nitrate, phosphate and other important reef parameters in addition to alkalinity.

This calculator is intended as a conservative dosing guide. Always verify aquarium parameters with reliable testing and never exceed the manufacturer's maximum recommended All-For-Reef daily dose for your actual system volume.
