How often do you change the dosing amounts on your Reef? As coral grow, don’t they require more? What about when adding coral?
 
I usually have to adjust after introducing a new batch of salt the off of demand.
 
I test my water parameters every week and adjust the auto doser for NoPox, Ca Mg and Alk once I see the test results each week as necessary.

I adjust the salinity normally by checking just before a water change and then either add or takeaway the amount of salt used.

I don’t adjust when adding new corals as such, but any changes in uptake will be picked up as part of the weekly tests.
