Reef Solutions and Aragamilk

[RBomm]

My LFS suggested that I add Ecosystem Reef Solution and Aragmilk to my tank to replace trace elements and increase calcium. Has anyone used these additives? If so what is your opinion.

I am nervous to add any addiives because my params are good and I have heard horror stories about the imbalance caused by some additives.
Intereseted in your thoughts. Thanks.

I think we answered this question in the chemistry forum. I wouldn't use either product, personally. The Aragamilk won't do much useful, and the ERS is some sort of unidentified cocktail of ingredients.

For calcium and alkalinity, B-Ionic is a good way to get started, in my opinion, although expensive long term. This article might help:
