How are you dosing? And what.....

[chefunk]

Hi There - I think it's time for me to start adding some essential elements etc., to my IM Nuvo 20. Can I ask, how are you administering and what are you adding? I'm sure there are a thousand answers depending on what's in the tank. I'm light on fish and looking to do soft corals and zoos.... A little help here please? Thanks!

Soft corals (including zoa's) have no demand for alkalinity and calcium, so no dosing is really needed. Now if you add hard corals (SPS and/or LPS) or a clam, then you'll need to dose. Otherwise water changes will (should) be able to keep up with major and minor elements.

Iodine and trace elements included in that? Bought some frags off of Live Aquaria and they are suggesting....strontium and calcium too.....
