My new tank setup came with a dosing pump. Never had oneof theseand I have no idea what to do with it.

It has 4 heads.

Upgrading has made things way more complicated than I had imagined.

Once your tank is consistently using elements, I’d probably suggest you dose Ca, Alk, Mg, and perhaps strontium as the 4th as these are the most commonly used up elements in the average reef tank.
 
So I'm assuming test params heavily, watch for things to fall off, dose as needed to keep stability.

That might be what it takes for me to finally keep sps.
