Dosing what?

I don't add any phyto, my tank is dirty enough. I do feed a variety of food, which all gets turned into poop, which becomes food for something else . . .

For chemistry, I boost my instant ocean salt with calcium (Preston Driveway Heat) and magnesium (MAGflake and Epsom salt) to keep the levels elevated. My top off is saturated kalk. My calcium stays at 450ppm and magnesium is ~1450ppm.

My name is Brian Steenhoek and I live in Ludlow KY just minutes outside of Cincinnati OH. I have a 210 gal salt water fish only with live rock tank that has been up for over a year. I have a passion for the hobby and recently got a deal on a 90 gal set up so want to set up a reef tank. I set up a small nano cube in my office and started with some soft corals and will eventually transfer things as they out grown the nano into the 90 gal. This is all new to me so I was told about this site for help. I look forward to picking your brains on reef setups. Thanks for you time today.
