Do I have to buy test kits for alk, calcium, and magnesium if I dose all for reef? Or just alk?Every single LPS you pick will get you one step closer to dosing. It took me 2 years but now that single head of duncan is now a colony and the tiny chalice is a large plate. Stick to softies and waterchanges will be fine forever. But after you begin with LPS it will catch up to you, it's just math. But all for reef from tropicmarin is the best for nano tanks been dosing for a year and no complaint
I have a nuvo fusion myself, and I have to dose almost every day just to keep levels consistent. I only do 10% water changes (2 gallons) every week, so you may be okay considering you do 20% changes. It’s also dependent how many corals you have and your elemental uptake by your corals. I was able to dial in my dosing schedule by testing every day for 2 weeks. This allowed me to observe the fluctuations in parameters and figure out dosing accordingly.Is it necessary to dose nano tanks when water changes are don’t frequently? I have a nuvo 20 and will be doing a 4 gallon change every week or two. I’ll be using reef crystals
Maybe the best way to understand the situation would be to ask a pretty simple question. Who would you be dosing for if you don't have anything in the tank (any coraline algae at this point will be covered by water changes)?I don’t have the experience to give an answer, but I’d like to ask a question, I don’t have a fish store close to home but I went to one in the closest city. I need someone to lean on. I asked the owner who seemed like a good guy and not necessarily trying to sell, how to best prepare my cycling nano for corals. He said sample and dose now even though I’m a while away from adding them. What does everyone think?
