So I know how smaller tanks chemistry can go up or down very easily bt should I be dosing my tank? I have read about it but cant find anything on smaller tanks. I have a couple corals, but should I dose? Honostly I am really not smart when It comes to dosing, but If someone could lead me right....

Always keep
ALK 9-12dkh
CAL 350-500ppm
I use Bulk Reef Supply 2 part solution.
when you can stablize those two, half the battle is over then...
MAG 9-12ppm

I have a Biocube 29 and haven't dosed at all.  I do weekly water changes, have lots of softies and a few LPS in there.  I use quality salt.

Jmw is correct . It really just depends if you can keep up with cal alk and mag through water changes alone. Unless there is a ton of sps in there weekly water changes with quality salt should be suffice in a small tank. Every tank is.different and if you can keep those stable your golden :)

All right cool, that makes total sense. Thanks a bunch all of you, and sorry about the dumb question.
