whos dosing?

[Jabis96]

im going to start dosing this week. I got a two part kit from my buddy. I was just wondering if anyone else has had good results from dosing. Also what other supplements are you adding to your tank. I just starting to aquire some SPS frags and my tank will eventually be SPS dominant.

Alk. probably #1 to check magnesium Bionic, calcium, depends on your parameters

Make sure whatever you start dosing you also have a handy test kit to measure the results. No sense dosing something you're not sure what the result will be.

For a complete list of suggested water params to observe - check out the article by Dr. RHFarley - it's a sticky on the top of this forum titled New to Tropical Reefkeeping? Some suggested water parameters:

I love the results I get from dosing 2 part. I second the need for testing; I say never dose what you can't test for.
I know magnesium plays a heavy roll in the two part equation and depending on what system you are using you may need to dose that seperately.

I'm another doser. But only AFTER I check all parameters first. My favorite stuff is called Bio Calcium by Tropic Marin. I dose Magnesium as needed, too.

I use kent 2 part. Seems to work good. Once you get a lot of life in there, I guess it's just a necessity.

Amino's and once in awhile essential elements

Homemade 2 part using calcium and alk purchased in bulk from www.bulkreefsupply.com. I use a medical doser pump with a dual lines, so a single pump dispenses both CA and ALK. I test weekly and anytime something doesn't look right.

Works great and no issues with low PH since I am not dealing with CO2 and a CA reactor.
