this may have already been asked but do you do a 10% water change every two weeks and then apply your prodibio products after that?

Update May7
It has been about 1 month since the last update:
Here are the changes
1. new lights on tank ( subbed out the actinics for 454 nm t5's)
2. Skimz 202E has been in service for just over one month...noticable difference in water clarity. I used to shut thee skimmer off for 5 hours after adding reef booster but now it is more like 12 hrs

The coral colours are still vibrant but some of the green slimers have lost there colour. This could be due to the recent change to new bulbs resulting in bleaching or lack of iron which is not part of the Prodibio system. I have also had an algae outbreak but it is mostly gone. This is definitely due to the new lights. I still see good growrth in the corals with many new buds on the surface of the arcos. One thing is the deep water arcos are responding better to Prodibio in terms of growth and colour.
I will add more comment later.....................
