I've just inherited a relatively small torch, would love some guidance on anything extra it'll require.

I've got a 15g waterbox, with softies and some zoas.
An AI Prime for light, I run matrix in the filter along with filter floss.
There's a nero 3 along with the filters return for flow.

My worry is its calcium requirements.
I currently only manually dose for KH (sits around 8-9).
Water change is 10% fortnightly using seawater i buy from my LFS.
Would that alone cover the torches needs?

Ideally i want to keep it cheap/lowish maintenance - i.e. a once a not top-up similar to what i'm doing with the KH.
Does that sound doable?
Cheers

Not sure why you’re dosing Alkalinity in a softie tank. Your water changes should take care of everything. Good luck. :)
