BECAUSE something went bonkers and my skimmer went nuts draining sump of water (roughly 30 gallons).

So one small exchange in the past several months.
My system is already set up to maintain Ca, dKH and Mg with kalk and CaRx, so those levels remain fine.

I do not have a problem maintaining pH, PO4, nitrates, nitrites or ammonia.

I have yet to send in a Triton test to see what might be depleted or accumulating. Corals and fish look fine... not as stellar as they did with regular partial water changes... but I would expect that to be the case.
I would expect pieces of the puzzle to be better realized once I get results from a Triton test, but working on the new build is my main priority at the moment.
