What do you recommend? I dose nothing at the moment as just adding coral as it was fish only before.

Depending on the size of the corals water changes may be enough until you are fairly stocked and the corals are growing. Is that a 275 gallons, or 275 liters? I know Michael has a 200 or 220 gallon tank, he is using over 300ml per day of the componenet 123. He mixes his own to become more economical. I personally use the premix component 123 and I am going through 200ml at the moment, in my 120 gallon tank. So in a heavy stocked 275, it could be double what I am doing or more. Calcium reactor may work better with trace dosing, but it can be done
