My parameters seem pretty good for never doseing but i think its just cause i have no livestock in it yet. I baught the 2 part soultion from brs and was wondering what should i dose and how much should i every day thanks.
Nitrate <5
Alk 10dkh
Ca 300
Mg 420
ph 8..1
sal 1.025

Ca is low, shoot for 400-500.
Mg is a typo? Because 420 is very, very low. Typically you want your MG to be 3x your Ca.

Everything else looks fine. I would look into getting a hanna checker for PO4.
Once you get your Ca & Mg in a good range, keeping your alk stable is most important IME.

As far as dosing goes, I would use a Reef Calculator. Since you don't have anything in the tank there's not much to consume Ca, Alk, etc, so you shouldn't have to do much to maintain your levels for now. Once you start stocking you'll need to test regularly and adjust your dosage as needed. Always dose one day, then wait to test the next day.

Your sure you didn't get 1300 for mag and 400 for cal? I think 10 for alk and 300 for cal is a little odd, but I guess that depends on a lot of things...
