In a new tank (LPS/softie) is there any need or benefit from dosing early on? Or are you relying more on just water changes to replenish trace elements and minerals? I’ve seen a lot of people like dosing AFR on softie/lps tanks which I would like to do but just seems to reason when corals are small the intake and usage of key elements and minerals in the water will not be over come unless you had a huge amount of coral, meaning dosing would do nothing but elevate your numbers probably to an undesirable number.
One last thought, running a high nutrient tank. I want to run no means of mechanical filtration in the sump other than the skimmer, so no filter socks are roller mat. Could this also take the place of dosing or has anyone seen it have similar results?
