Dosing

OK, i know i have now FOR SURE decided to start a reef instead of a FOWLR but i had one question.
If i set up a 20 gallon tank and use reef crystal salt, will i need to dose Kalk, Calcium, etc. ?
Thanks!!

You will have to test it is based on how you stalk and keep-up the tank

typically on a small tank like this its common practice to do weekly water changes 10 to 15%. When that happens you will replace most all of the essential trace elements needed to sustain your corals and other inhabitants. You will still want to test your chem and see exaxctly how much and what gets depleted after a weeks time. Adjustments to your chemistry if any should be minimal.
