Dosing new tank

[hbnano714]

I have a 25 gallon tank I plan to do as a mixed tank. What would be the most straight forward way to dose and what should i use? I don't have the $$ for auto dosing. I need to get a ATO setup first.

You do not need to dose anything, a weekly water of say 10% will replenish the elements.
You will start to dose when testing indicates your CA, ALK and MG are being used up faster by the corals than a water change can keep up with.

When this time comes, daily dosing by hand is fine using a 2-part solution along with Magnisium.

You can also dose NOPox daily manually if you need to increase your bacteria population

Simple rule of reefing
Do not dose what you don't test for, and only dose what is needed.
