Ok, to settle the possible debate over reef salt, even if I could find one that did everything with a weekly water change I wouldn’t use because of cost. I only do a water change every 3-4 weeks. If you are truly running a full reef tank LPS and SPS you are going to need to supplement Calcium and Alkalinity and occasionally Magnesium. It’s the way it is.
I use more Alk than Cal. I use baking soda from the kitchen for the Alk. and use about 5 teaspoons a week. 90G reef tank. Ouch!
I also use Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime/kalk in my ATO but that’s another matter it has both.
