I am considering dosing Alk-Ca-Mg. I have never gone down this path. I only have 2 Clowns in there so I'd like to avoid water changes and use something with trace elements as well. I enjoy mixing chemicals if its going to save a significant amount of money. If I can find a 2-part that contains everything I need though and considering that it's only 40g, I don't mind paying for ready to use chemicals. I also need suggestions on a doser. I already have 2x Kameor X1s so if it's a 2-part, I'm already set. I also have AllForReef but I'm told that is to maintain so help me get there so that I can use the cheap AFR please. I ran an Alk test yesterday and it was 4.0. I looked at the expiration on the reagents and it was 2020. I have fresh alk and Ca reagents incoming. I do 25% WC weekly for now so I'm not concerned that it is that low. It's a new tank with stable PO4 and NO3. I see ESV B-Ionic mentioned a lot as well as Tropic Marin Balling Method. Should I give it a go and see how much I'm consuming before mixing my own?
Also, would I continue to dose kalk in my ATO? I enjoy the pH benefits and would like to keep it in the mix.
