Tropic marine All for reef for nano softie tank?

[santeeeyyy]

I am new to dosing, Ive been dosing BRS soda ash and it worked wonders but I messed up the dose this one time. I was wondering if tropic marine all for reef would be a good doser to set on the floor and let it dose its stuff. Someone here had a larger softie tank and no water changes so I have a nano tank of 6 gallons and was wondering if in any way it would still be good? I really like what the numbers are telling me on their calculator and if I can save money on water changes thats even perfect so I can use all my water change money on saving for bigger tanks

AFR can be good for most tanks. But the weirder ? is how much money would on water changes in a six gallon nano?
If it was me, I would still do water changes be water changes are a "dilution to the pollution"!

Dosing for a soft coral tank in general seems like it wouldnt really make much of a difference because it doesnt seem like theyd be taking up too many minerals until a long period of time had elapsed with no water changes...maybe it is though?

IMO, AFR is a fine choice. In a soft coral tank it may not provide all the trace elements optimally, since the dose will be low.

Unsure. I heard someone’s softie tank exploding after AFR. I saw somewhat similar result when I dosed soda ash and after a week or two.

FWIW, dosing is always cheaper than water changes to attain the same boosts.

What is your alk consumption? I'm wondering if you'll even be able to dose enough to see a benifit on a 6g system.

I’m grabbing a monitor so I can see how fast it’s consumed each day
