Without details I can give you the gist: 1) Find out how much your tank uses (e.g. mg/L/day). 2) Dose at that rate using a drip, automated doser, or manual additions. 3) Monitor because corals grow, demands change, and evaporation is not consistent (pertinent for dosing kalk via ATO).

Hamza's reef has useful calculators. Randy's write ups are also a useful source and I would bet there is a 'for dummies' article he has written.

But with a 29 gallon, wouldn't it be easier to use water changes instead of dosing?


I guess I’m just confused because everything I’m hearing is conflicting. Some people tell me to dose Cal and Alk. Then some say don’t. You’re saying water change. I will check those two sources out that you gave me. I appreciate it.
