I have had fish only tanks for years, I am now trying to get into coral.  I have a lot to learn and a tight budget.  I am quickly learning that I need to dose to maintain sky and calcium, at the least.  I have a 40g and will be setting up a 300g in a few weeks.  What and how do you dose? Is there an easy way to figure out how much to dose and when?  Any and all help would be appreciated!
No animals were harmed in this post, however a few billion electrons were slightly inconvenienced.

I dose, alkalinity and calcium using a Dosing pump throughout the day. I will dose magnesium by hand as needed. All of the elements are from bulk reef supply and I mix them myself. That is all that I am dosing right now. I change 70 gallons out of my 180 gallon tank per month using an apex DOS so I hope that is keeping the other elements in line.The corals seem happy, growth is good.  Here is a picture of my current tank. If you are wanting to go cheap I would go used wherever you can. I have a pair of brs 1.1ml/min dosing pumps that I could sell and ship to you if you want.
