I was going to try to maintain the levels that I posted above (parameters I'll be shooting for). The plan was to test after a water change then test again right before my next water change in order to determine how much I need to dose to maintain those parameters that I'll be shooting for. Is this the correct way to do it?Start testing parameters first. After you get familiar with them, THEN you can start dosing.
You are putting the cart before the horse. How much are you going to dose if you don’t the demand/consumption of your aquarium?
The attached picture is what I got from Redsea.
