Is there one additive you can add to your reef so you don't have to add about 4 different bottles? I was hopeing there would be one thing that covers all the nutrients.
Thanks, Lynnette

I would only add Kent esentail elements and want ever calcium you wish to use. Go from there and you may need to add others along the way but not on regular basis

Actually a regular water change takes care of trace elements. I only dose buffer or ca if needed.

I 100% agree with the water changes... other than that, TEST for and add BOTH calcium and alkalinity IF needed.

Generally the rule of thumb is not to add what you cannot test for.
That said, supplementing calcium and alkalinity as needed, along with sheduled water changes should be all you need.
