sweet, i dont have pre mixed, i make 32g of salt in my room, 32g of ro/di water and i put in 16.5 cups of Oceanic Salt Mix,
I also have a Calcium Reactor which mixes Co2 into the water colum to lower the PH and dissolve a pure calcium carbonate media, this adds calcium and other trace elements to my tank.
I only have my calcium reactor because i have Small Polyp Stony Corals (SPS) SPS corals make up a calcium carbonate skeleton, i only use my reactor because waterchanges cant keep up with my calcium needs, this is because i have many frags of SPS, but i still only run 30ml per minute, and have my Cal-reactor run on a higher PH so the media dissolves slower.
you DONT need a calcium reactor on an LPS or softie tank! you dont even need one on an SPS tank, but it makes it alot easier.

It might not be a bad idea to take a sample to a LFS or someone that can test your levels...
To confirm that the dosing schedual you are on is NOT overloading your tank...or if you need to raise it...
It's really not a good practice to add things you can/haven't tested for...
Even if just "occasionaly" to confirm if your overloading or missing the boat...
