Hello! I just upgraded from a 10 Gallon to a 18 Gallon Red Sea Nano desktop and would like to set up a controller and dosing system for the new tank. The Nano is an All in one so it has a built in filter sock, skimmer, charcoal but thats it. Any recommendations on how to augment the existing systems filtration (such as adding medio or mini reactors) and on what is a good approach to start dosing specifically what brands / products. Will be moving in a few torches, frogs breath and zoa from the other tank when ready to get things started. Appreciate any thoughts! Thanks!
 
With it being a new tank, I would wait and see how it works out for you. Skimmer on that small of a tank should keep the nutrients knocked down, unless your feeding a lot. What do you hope to accomplish with dosing? With small tanks nutrients and ALK, MG, CA are usually handled by water changes, unless there is a high demand from corals in the tank.
