JUST CURIOUS. WHEN YOU SAY YOU DON'T DOSE ANYMORE, DO YOU MEAN NOTHING AT ALL? IE CALCIUM REACTOR, TWO PART, OR BALLING.

REGARDS
Since doubling the water volume of my weekly (once a week) water change (so replacing 16 gallons a week), I haven't dosed a single drop extra of anything related to MG, St, Ca, ALK... Only using my daily Zeovit stuff, but have also stopped the Zeo Potassium. Only feeding my fish, using CoralVitalizer, ZeoStart, AminoAcids, Coral Snow, ZeoFood7. Nothing else being added.

I have been doing my parameter testing twice a week, and parameters have been spot on, with just doing my water changes.

I have been having some issues with coral death and RTN, but slowing seeing improvements. These improvements are the browning of corals, starting to go away. Tissue growth is now apparent on many corals, and the re-inflaction of open brains, candycanes, and other softies.

Since this seems to be working now for a couple months, I am going to continue with this method. Since I am not adding extra stuff, there is much better control of what is going in the water.

We will see over the next 6 months, 12 months, if just doing water changes keeps working.
