depends if you bump up your water changes .... if you stuck with the current schedule you have, then most likely you will need to add a little more... just do some testing for a couple weeks and adjust accordingly...

Since you added 34 more gallons the new SW may not have been to your Mg, Ca and Alk levels and diluted your previous levels so they may need to be raised a bit. If corals have not increased your Chem load did not increase, but with WC if you do not increase the amount you change then yur dosing should remain the same.
