dosers is good for huge big tanks with lots of coral.. or small tanks with lota of coral .. but if u got a small tank with not alot of coral a doser is over kill and will affect ur watera in a bad way

what salt are you using . . have you checked the parms on a fresh batch of salt?

I went thru my parameters being out of whack . . where i calc was over 500 and mag 1500+ (tested with salifert). It turned out be my salt . . I was using ESV salt and found that I have was not mixing it correctly.

nope cant be because the light dims down every couple of minutes to enter the next phase of light ...my skills suck even with softys...or maybe this tank was used for a quarantine tank with copper...2 treat there fish from the 200gal...tank humm cause i never had a tank that didnt flourish at all...
