I have a 3 year old 65 litre softy and lps tank. Been using reef zlements ipc testing and adjusting with zlements individual trace elements, all with good success. Thought I would try inOne to simplify things. But my tank doesn't use much calcium and KH so they are rising. I am now down to dosing 1ml every other day of inOne. I don't think 1ml will be able to keep trace elements on target. Do I go back to the individual trace dosing or is there something I can do to help dose inOne? I think I would have the same problem with 2 part. With my tank not using much calcium and KH. I use Instant Ocean Sea Salt at 1.026

No system that ties trace elements to alk and calcium dosing will be suitable for all tanks, and my suggestion is to switch to dosing trace elements using a mix like Tropic Marin A and K or a diy.

Thank you for your comment. The only trace dosing I can find is what you suggested. It doesn't contain calcium, magnesium or raise KH. So I think it's the one that I will try. Thanks again.

You are welcome. There are other brands, but this is the one I recommend, or a diy.
