AquaticStyle 45 (90L) tank

Would i benifit from purchasing a dosing pump to keep my calcium and alk levels in check if my tank is only 90L in size and i perform 15L water changes every week?

Or do i rely on the calcium levels in my salt-mix (redsea coral pro salt) to do its job.

I would probably just dose by hand when your cal and alk start to deplete.

It all depends on your Hard coral load....
I personally don't have to dose because most of my corals are softies....
