What do you dose?

[House]

In research for my new build, dosing always comes into play. There are things like Calcium & Alkalinity, GFO & Carbon, Pellets & Fluids, even Vodka, Ozone maybe?. And things may add to your reasoning such as DSB's & Refugiums.

There are so many things people use and don't use for their own reasons, so what I'd like to know is...

What do you dose? Why do you dose it?
What don't you dose? And why do you avoid it?

Please include size and specs of tank for a better understanding.

Brs two part, with mag from brs as well, so I guess technically it's three part!
I dose this for obvious reasons: To keep my parameters stable.
I also use a small amount of gfo: 2-3 tablespoons in a brs reactor for my 30 gal tank with ten gal sump.

Does anybody else dose?

I also dose the BRS "3" part. i dose daily about 15 ML- 3ML 5 times a day. keeps my alk at around 12- cal at around 450-460

I dose a diy 2 part/3part - alk, ca, mag - to keep parameters in check. Kalk in my ato - helps keep parameters in check, stabilized my ph and allows for less 2 part to be used. Run gfo and carbon 24/7. Started using eco-bak pellets about 2 months ago. Only other thing that I add to the tank is Bio-digest. 300 gallon mixed reef with dsb.

Does anyone dose anything like fuel or any other additives. I have a pump thats not being used. I dose fuel by hand but didnt know if it would help to do small amounts with the doser.

Yes -

I dose cal - alk - mag - fuel - H2O2 - vinegar - sodiumnitrate - ammoniahydroxide - phytochrom
You technically could throw ozone in there too -

I have dosed fuel for quite a while - I dose as if it were iodine...
