Best way to supplement nano tank

[dawson reynolds]

I have a softy 20g tank and I am about to add some lps. I was something the best way to keep levels where that need to be like calcium mg and kh. Will 20% every 2 weeks of reef crystals salt be ok or will I have to add something like Kalkwasser?

You will be able to figure out your consumption rate by weekly testing between water changes. I would guess that you wouldn’t need to dose anything unless you have a lot of corals in the tank. Water changes should keep up but testing is the only way to know for sure.[emoji106]

I believe you will be fine for a long time with your regular water changes.

Test alk and calcium once a week, same day and time.

Once your regularl wc cannot keep up, you will know what your weekly demand is and be able to choose a dosing method that will work for you.

Ok I think the only stony corals I will keep is like a frog spawn and a acan

Your tank will do just fine with the water changes then.

Good question!

I believe ab&c is alkaline, calcium, and magnesium?

Those will be dosed independently based on actual consumption.
