I plan on doing more zoas, lps, and euphellias in the beginning and adding a few sps’ slayer down the road. I agree that the regular water changes will most likely be sufficient in the beginning and weekly testing as I add more coral will tell me when that’s not enough. I’m just trying to decide...
I was looking at the “all for reef” dosing because it just looked so much easier and could be simply manually dosed each day. I’ve read about the icp tests, how do I get one? I still like to get the test kits just so I can monitor them weekly. I have most of them already.

I may recheck the calcium again, that may be user error. Good call on the magnesium I totally forgot to a magnesium kit, will have to get one soon before adding corals. I obviously haven’t started dosing yet, was wondering what everyone uses? BRS kalkwasser seems like a viable option in my top...
Not much has changed in the last few weeks except that I did get a few goodies from fellow members. Thanks to @USMCReefer for the Hydra26 light and Santa Monica drop (although I haven’t set the drop up yet) @jgraz for the jebao wave maker, and today I picked Hannah calcium and alkalinity...
I have the low phosphate checker and love it. I’d like to start getting corals in the next month so I want to start testing my calcium and alk soon. I haven’t tested for them yet.
I’ve been debating which method to try once my tank is established: a) weekly 5-10% water changes with Brightwell Aquatics Neomarine salt and dose 2 part or b) no water changes and dose with something like Tropic Marin’s All-For-Reef single solution that doses all major and minor trace elements...
True if you could replace 100% trace elements with water change. But if you’re doing 10% water changes once/week , how much trace elements are you replacing? Do you still have to dose to keep up the elements? Sorry for the noob questions, I’m learning a lot from y’all.
