Dosing Looking Ahead... thanks!

I am currently cycling my tank, but looking ahead what should I plan on dosing. I am hoping to have soft leathers, lps, and maybe a zoo or two. My tank is a 28 nano LED model. Thank you all in advance.

I might note that I am in no way a DIY kind of guy, and would rather buy something easy that is rather fool proof (if there is a such a thing). I do not own a dosing mechanism, so I will plan to administer dose in the overflow chamber or in front of a jet. I have recently gotten back into SW since my deprarture 10 years ago, but back then I only had leathers and fish. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

In my opinion the easiest would be to add kalk to your top-off water to keep alkalinity and calcium in check. head to the nano forum and search in there to see what others are doing as well.

I would suggest that you dont start looking at what you need dose......Just to dose.

There is no such thing as dosing anything just as a general " Need to dose "

Whatever you are thinking of dosing....you should always test for it first, before dosing it.
