I currently doser 6 ml of NatuReef Akalinity Plus and Hardness plus to maintain the akalinity and Calcium levels. I also dose (5 ml) Iodine plus and Iron plus and the most important one that few people doser.... Magnesium plus into my tank. Why the Magnesium? Well most hard corals can't use the Calcium without having magnesium to use also. I have to dose about 10 ml of Magnesium everyday in order to maintain it a adequate level. The reason I have to dose so much is because my system evaporates approximately 2 gals a day. I didn't always dose magnesium but ever since I started my corals have had extreme growth and coloration to them. Not to mention the soft corals in the tank.
