Doing avast calcium reactor and avast kalk stirrer, still dose alk(seachem reef builder)seachem magnesium via aqua medic doser. I use tropic Marin calcium which necessitates alk to be used and kalk is for ph help. Currently using vertex large media reactor with sulphur infirst tube and oyster shell in tube #2 to see if I can get my no3 lower than 25 ppm. Oh I also add manual iodide seachem and Brightwell trace elements weekly.

I think it's still considered dosing if I'm doing it manually, right? I just started adding All for Reef daily for the micronutrients. I might need to find something else to use for that as my CA, Alk, and MG have always been plenty high before the A4R.

I use Aquavitro additives and am surprised to see how well my aquarium is actually doing with them i did use red sea for a while but my lfs was having a hard time getting red sea stuff in so they switched to Aquavitro and i started using it on my tank and i cant say that im mad at the results its actually a really good brand.
