What should I dose in a macroalgae tank? I know it can be an essential part of keeping a successful macroalgae tank and not bottoming the nutrients out. Looking at buying nitrate, phosphate, and iodine. I already dose ChaetoGro, zooplankton/phytoplankton, and silica.

Your dosing regime is superb. I like keeping mollies in my macro lagoon mixed gardens. Fish poop is good for the tank and mollies grazing on nuisance algae. I like mixing GOM sponges with macro. I just did transfer Caribbean flame scallops from a crowded macro tank.

Not sure exactly for your setup but I dose Iron , Iodine, Manganese, cobalt, chromium . I dose daily and each individually . Might be best to just run a ICP test so you know exactly what your in take on them are so you know how much you need
