After getting absolutely hooked on the hobby, I'm ready to take the plunge into the world of automatic dosing. My end goal is to keep a Maxima clam and maybe delve into hard corals at some point. I do feel like there is a large learning curve to this dosing procedure, and I'm not sure where to start. I'm a buy once, cry once consumer as I've already figured out buying cheap is not the way to go with reefing. I've got a 40 gal Aquatop Recife. My questions are:
1) What dosing pump do people recommend? I'm planning on dosing calcium, magnesium and alkalinity. Do they come as a package with every part that I'll need?
2) Which brand of elements are best for ease of use? I'm looking for the already mixed liquid variety for ease of topping off when necessary (unless they can cause issues)
3) Any recommendations for a newbie beginning the dosing process?
Appreciate the help. I feel like this is my last hurdle before the training wheels start coming off!
