Be CAREFUL when supplementing or dosing. Don't dose because the lfs or online says so. Tets first and dose second too much of a good thing is bad also. If you ask everyone you talk to you will get different answers because everyone's tank is different. More critters, more lr/ls, better filteration, different water, different chemicals and most important operator procedure will affect your dosing schedule. The best advice is test and watch and use the procedure that works best for your tank.
