Dosing advice needed

[Ash321]

Hi im after some advice what is best to dose planning on going full sps soon! I dose kh blend twice a day at the moment! Iv got a 3 channel kamoer doser on order so what do all suggest ?

make sure you dos calcium and magnesium also. You also want to think about supplementing trace elements also by hand since you only have 3 channels.

I was told that ati essentials method would be good?

My cal and mag are very stable at the moment due to only having a few softies couple of lps and couple of sps

What do you recommend as a trace element supplement?

ati essentials is fine if that's where you are going then I think that includes trace elements in like the calcium. You just never mentioned it. Once you go SPS dominate they will suck up your calcium and mag. So test often for those as you get your dos measurements zeroed in. Then as your corals grow you will have to increase the amount you dos so keep on testing

I use red sea on one tank and my main tank is triton but there are a lot of good ones out there.

Awesome thanks. Just working on getting my levels low enough and stable enough to hopefully be succesful!
