    Not at all. Corals dont really add to much to a bio-load, fish on the other hand do. You'll start to notice that your NH3/4, No2 and No3 will start to go up, thats a sign of a large bio-load. Let me give you an ex. I tested my NSW that I use for WC's. Turns out that it has the following levels; MAG-1470-1500 Cal-440 DKH-8 SG-1.024 Mag and Cal is ok by me but the Dkh is a little low(for my taste) so I know I have to add/dose Dkh. Once you know what your tanks CR(Consumption Rate) is, the dosing(if any) becomes easy. I hope this has answered your Q. Luna
