Tank is an EVO 13.5 with softies and LPS, RBT, zoas.
I ended up with a Bubble Magus 3-pump doser and reservoirs.
Back 10 years ago I was dosing with B-Ionic, two part I think. Memory is fuzzy on this. Was using hospital IV pumps which I'm sure were gotten shadily.
What are the general thoughts on standard dosing products?
I was thinking Kalkwasser and magnesium. Any reef nutrition?
 
All for Reef by Tropic Marin is a great all in one solution.
 
Personally I see no reason to dose anything in such a small tank for just a few soft corals. Sure you can dose for dosing sake, but nothing needs to be dosed.

What is the current ph level and magnesium level? Cannot suggest to you to dose or not dose without knowing the current parameters, and what your target parameters are.
 
The question of what to dose depends heavily, IMO, on whether it is stocked with heavy alk users or not.

If it is heavily stocked with alk users, you likely want to dose multiple times a day, and either a two part or all in one is likely a good bet.

If it is lightly stocked, an all in one once a day will be easiest and the expense will not be problematic.
