    Hey everyone,
    I'm just curious what everyone doses.
    Currently I don't dose anything. I use reef crystals and ca, alk and magnesium have been stable and good. I have been recently adding more and more sps and am just trying to get an idea of what I might possibly try in the future.
    Thank you.

    I have some BRS two part that I use from time to time but since switching to reef crystals (like you) and buckling down on more consistent water changes I haven't had to use to much. I also use Kent Essential Element. I know people say don't dose what you cant test for, but started using it based off a few local reefers opinions when I had some unhappy corals and it seems to help.

    I use coral pro salt and dose with the aquavitro line. Corals and clams are growing at an alarming rate

    I've been dosing Mg, Ca, and Calc/alk.

    As I got more coral, suddenly, my levels were dropping quick.

    Now that I dose, I can barely seem to keep up!
