What can be automatically dosed for coral nutrition?

[blackstallion]

After dosing for Ca, Alk and Mg, what else is most important (nutritionally) for LPS and soft coral that can be dosed with a regular doser?

Aminos? Phytoplankton? Other?

I don't think reef roids and reef chili could be dosed with a doser as the particles would settle to the bottom, although maybe I'm wrong?

Bottom line, as I'm trying to offload more and more tasks that are recurring, trying to determine what would be best automaticly dosed for nutrition.

AB+ can be put in dosing container weekly. I fill up container of what i use in a week and have dosing pump do that and keep the big bottle in the fridge

I use acropower on a doser.

I used AB+ for a while, but was a bit pricey.

Looks like Acropower is targeted towards SPS?

Yeah that's how it's marketed, but it's an amino blend, LPS and softies will also benefit from it.

Do you feed or dose anything else in addition to Acropower?

Looks like for my 200g reef, would come out to about $1/day, which would be easy to get on a doser, set it and forget it!

I also like the fact it does not need to be refrigerated, so I could hook up the 1 gallon jug directly.

Reefroids every other day.
