I’ve been running All for Reef on my tank for the last 2 years to decent success, but am considering switching back to 2-part as I want to more accurately automate my KH monitoring (either with KH Director, though thinking about ditching GHL… or, KH Keeper Plus). I potentially would have 3 or 4 dosing chambers with this setup and would like to reserve the 3rd chamber for Magnesium.

I was potentially thinking of continuing Tropic Marin K+ and A-, but am curious about what else would work in a 3 - 4 part dosing regimen. Could anyone recommend a holistic trace-element additive that leaves out the Alk and Cal? Thanks much!

Have you seen the Bulk Reef video where they use their 2 part matched with Balling C from TM?

There are many good options here. Some are:

1. A two or three part with extra trace elements in it.

2. A complete two part system like ESV plus trace element additive if your choice.

3. A complete three part system plus trace element additive of your choice. Examples would be Balling from Tropic Marin, or my DIY (like BRS uses) plus Balling Part C.
