Dosing korallen zucht stontium complex.test or not to test?

[ddc0715]

Ok this product says nothing about testing prior to dosing. It says to dose 1 ml per 25 g daily... and its not a stontium only product.. am i ok to follow these directions or should i test. Agsin this is not a Strontium only liquid. I feel testing for stro tium would be a waste of time for this product based on its own directions. Anyone ever use this stuff? Advice wanted.

As a general rule with Korallenzucht products is that the "recommended dose" is actually more of "maximum dose"
I use quite a lot of their products (run full Zeo) and some products are best to start dosing carefully.

I haven't used Sr Complex myself, but from what I've gathered it's not needed to dose unless there's an actual lack of Sr, so testing beforehand is probably wise.
Sr [should] be replenished properly with regular waterchanges with a decent salt

Thanks... annd .. that sucks. Lol... i bought it because all info said it was easy to dose on a daily basis. With no mention of testing...am i to believe that in order to dose this product daily you must or should test daily. Thats so confusing. I just wasted 30 bucks. Wow. I got enough test kits. Lol.

You need to test any elements you dose. Why dose if you don't need to? And an overdose can be just as bad if not worse than a deficiency

You could do an ICP-OES test to get a full analysis and then go from there
