I like to do my after a water change. This is on a 210 gal system. I change out 20 gallons on say Friday night. Then Saturday morning I mix up another 5 gallons and set aside. Then go and pick up corals I have picked out. Come home and drip acclimate them. And finally top off system with new patch of saltwater mixed up ealier in the day. I don't dose my system with any addatives while new corals are getting adjusted. In other words make sure your testing is done and parameters adjusted before introduction of new specimans. Hope this helps.
