I have a 35g with a 20g sump it is a mixed reef mostly lps

right now I have :
A green goniopora
Zoas
Mushrooms 2
Candycanes
Hammers
Torches 2
Frogspawn



but the main question is I want 1-2 pcs of sps in the tank without dosing
Will these 2 pcs lower my alk and calcium or they won’t and will water changes keep them happy I use Red Sea coral pro
Because I want my levels staple

I want to get a birds nest and a stylo

thanks in advance

IMO 1-2 small frags you can getaway without dosing,plus it take awhile for corals to get used to your water parameters/lights before it start to grow

Eventually you will need to dose. If the coralline every comes in strong, this will use up a lot of carbonate, calcium and magnesium all on it's own. Have a plan.
