What should i dose?

[Collink91]

Really taking a crack at going all out on a tank, and ive never owned a doser before. I just bought one. What brand of nutrients should i go with?

The first question is what are you trying to solve for?

Should you dose? Is the real question. Dosing should be done to maintain levels that aren't ABLE to be maintained with only water change. If doing water changes is working to keep parameters in check, continue doing that until there is a real need to dose.

Okay great! Thanks!

even something like reef colors apply to that?

To stack onto this:

1. How stocked is your tank? Photos and some descriptions would help generate better advise.
2. What test kits do you have and how frequent is your testing regimen?
