i dose microvert every other day and phyto-plankton on the alternate days mainly because doing this saves me money because the phyto lasts longer this way and i have this thing in my head that gives me the impulse to dose every day i drip kalkwasser 24/7/365 and add esv bionic every day in the recommended amount to be used when dripping kalk
and a hare of magnesium from time to time when it gets low (i test for magnesium) and then sometimes i dose boron when that is low( i test for this as well)

I am a big fan of spot feeding.
I soak tiny bits of scallops in Zoe and assorted phytos and then use surgical tweezers to tear it into really tiny bits (like the size of sand) and feed that to my corals. I have seen huge growth in my LPS since I started doing this once a week or so - particularly my hammer torch and frogspawn. I have also gotten positive result doing this with my yellow polyps and zoos.
my anomones and long tenticle plate coral can take slightly larger pieces like the size of a misis shrimp.

You don't run into any water quality issues dosing that much?

I wouldn't let my anenome touch any corals. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
