Reefing One Day @ A Time!!!
Softies and most lps have no need to dose as normal monthly or even bi monthly water changes will provide the elements needed. LPS use very smal amounts of ALK and CA compared to SPS. If you have a ton of LPS I could see dosing but in a nano I don’t personally see the need.
With that said I have a Coral Box WiFi from ReefBreeders and it is the best bang for the buck when it comes to cost and accuracy. I had a Jabeo DP 4 and it was rock solid for the first few months then half the heads stopped working and the other half wouldn’t turn of and about nuked my tank so personally I have nothing good to say about the jabeo dosers and there’s a lot more negative remarks about them then good.
A doser is one of the places in this hobby you want to get quality equipment as it can help your tank as much as it can kill your tank.

I agree with @Hitman on the needs. I run a larger 110 gal tank that is currently LPS and gorgonias and I meet all my needs with kalkwasser and then dose Magnesium monthly. I use BRS dosers all around for RO/DI topoff, kalkwasser feed (I keep it separate from top off), salt water change (x2) are all on 50ml/min units. I also use the 1.1ml/min unit for vinegar and magnesium.
I also have one in a mini-fridge where I auto feed Reef Nutrition foods to my tank.
I am planning a tank reset for the holidays and will be going to SPS/LPS and I plan to go balling method...I will still use the BRS dosers.

As stated Softies and LPS won’t consume much coraline tho Could strip some of it so water changes can accomplish an easy way, I have the DOS from apex and use ESV for 2 parts, I also add a tad of Kalk to my ATO idk why I feel my tank looks better with Kalk
