Not new to reefing but very new to dosing.
So I've seen great growth in my blastos and Duncan's however my frogsspawns and torches seem to get larger but are the only ones not adding any heads.
I know that I have a lot of lps in my tank so im sure they run through their share of mag cal and all rather quickly but I've never dosed before and I don't want to mess anything up.
From what I know you have to check daily and see what the use is and how far they drop then add accordingly. But I've also heard that some nutrients affect the others etc.
Soo I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to how to start dosing what those of you with many lps dose and with a doser or manually.
Here's an example of what I mean with my lack of growth.
They get larger but don't add any new stalks

I keep a mixed reef and dose with Calicium,soda ash and magnesium.I try to keep these levels adequate for good growth.My frogspawn is generally slow growing so in addition I regularly feed them with frozen or manufactured coral foods.I like to read the articles here when I have the chance: Reef Chemistry by Randy Holmes-Farley
 
I haven't really started dosing yet
I was told to dose liquid aragonite so that's what I've been kindve doing every now and then but nothing consistent.
 
Well for starters frogspawn don't grow a new stalk always. Also you can look to by a two part supplement . Like I used fusion 1&2 when I first started however just go to lfs the will know of a two part supplement.
