Newbie here, should I be dosing with these results?

[own1996]

I have a 32 gallon biocube with a Kenya tree, a flower pot coral, zoas, a torch coral, one finger leather, one brain coral, GSP and xenia. This weekend I just started checking for Magnesium and Calcium. Results are Calcium 421, Phosphate .04, Alk 9.9 and Magnesium 1320. 20% weekly water changes, tendency to overfeed, Nitrates typically run 5-10, Kent Microvert or Reefroids 1x weekly. I use Tropic Marin Pro salt. I do have some dinos on the sand but that seems to be improving. Based on the results I obtained today, should I consider any kind of dosing? Thanks for any help or advice!

Honestly, your numbers look pretty good to me. I would definitely continue to monitor, but unless you start to see a marked decrease in Alc or Calc, I would stay the course for the time being.

No need to dose until alkalinity drops below your target level. Calcium and magnesium will not need dosing before that.

I agree with all. Keep checking your alk, Ca and Mg regularly. If you are consistent with water changes, you’ll be replenishing all of that and there’ll be no need for dosing.
