Im going to add a reef octopus very soon as I got it in the mail today.....the bio pellets will make the nitrate and phospate lower and hover around very low levels b/c its a recirculating skimmer. I plan on droping my WC from once a week/every other week...to once every 1 1/5 to 2 months....my major issue is since i have a reef and obviously corals need calcium alk etc.....will only doing WC every 2 months should i dose to compensate the lost calcium etc due to WC Being done less frequent? Also i am new to this hobby (tank is 9 months old) and very confuzed with how dosing works, whats kalkwasser? How do I dose, do I need those dosing pumps or can i just put directly into the aquarium? Whats a buffer? Somebody please give me a easy rundown of dosing how it works and how you do it...in beginners terms?
