Help with auto topoff and dosing 2 part or kalk

[srt8]

Hi all, would like advice on if a tunze auto topoff can also dose two part or how do I automate that too? Would I be better getting a unit that can do both? Confused here because if I go auto topoff how do I keep calcium and alk up also because I won't be dripping kalk. I am kind of new to reef keeping but have been reading my A** off. I purchased a 75 a guy had for over 10 years. He let it go kinda bad, but I have it back in shape.it has some leathers and at least 100 pounds of live rock. Getting ready for more corals and such. Also a good quantity of live sand and some coralline.all parameters are good. Also has a bottom sump with skimmer in sump.two power heads and new purchased LED lights,2 12k and 2 445 nm blue 48 inch purchased by me.

I wouldn't personally use the tunze ATO to dose 2 part.....There are specific pumps for that use.....The Tunze ATO is just that.....an ATO....Before you even concern yourself with what "needs" to be dripped you need to determine your usage rate first.....

Thank you, I guess patience is a big factor in this endeavor. I am new on the forum. Right now my Kh is 10dKH,calcium is 520mg/l,ph is 8.4 and Nitrate is 10 I think. I'm not good with the color card on nitrate. I will try to post a pic and list of inhabitants. I will appreciate any advice.

I think the color decoding is a weakness of a lot of people including me......Hanna makes some pretty good meters, but they have mixed reviews.....Some test kits are just easier than others.....Can't wait to see some pics.......Just remember patience is key.........
