I’m starting a coral QT and am planning to use aquaforest reef salt. My question is do I need to add bottled bacteria to the tank and seeded biospheres? My nitrates and phosphates will essentially be 0. Do I dose Seachem Reef Nitrogen and Phosphorus to bring the nutrients up so that the corals won’t starve? How often should you do water changes if alkalinity/calcium/magnesium are essentially still the same levels after 2 weeks in qt?
 
If you do weekly water changes to your main display then the water you take out of your display you use in your quarentine tank and your quarintine tank water goes down the drain. easiest way to keep nutrients up and stable parameters for the QT system
