Hey guys! Just want to verify some advice I got from chat gpt. I have a roughly 50 gallon tank. Skimmer, filter sock/sponge. 2 clowns, goby pistol shrimp pair, pj cardinal, falco hawkfish, cleaning crew. My corals are almost all frags, leptoseris, Kenya tree, Solomon hairy leather, waving hand anthelia, GSP, pipe organ coral, chalice. My parameters are… not ideal. This is what I got and this is what I’m doing:

Salinity 1.023 Temp 77 Alkalinity 6.5 Calc 320 Mag 1130 Nitrate 75 Phos 0.8

I’m doing daily and have been for about 4 days: 3 ml nopox 50 ml mag 20 ml calc 6 ml alk I also have a 1/4 cup of GFO in the sump.

10 gallon water change twice a week. I use good tested water from the LFS. I have an rodi unit but the filters need replacing (found out the hard way). I’m fighting back hair algae (understandably considering the nutrients). My lighting schedule is in the attached picture. The tank has been up for approx 3 years.

My question is, is what I’m dosing appropriate? Is there anything else you would do differently? Im trying my best but am relatively new to this, especially dosing specifically.
