What is your tank lacking? Alk,calcium, magnesium? I dose close to 200 mls of AFR a day but I also run kalk in the ATO. Every once in a great while I will have to add some calcium to bump it back up but not very often.

I've found its easier to add them separately. For alk and calcium just add more AFR. I doubt you will find a cheaper solution than the AFR powder. My tank is 150 gallons and full of sps. I use the BRS mag two part and Tropic Marin calcium to boost when needed. With the kalk in ato I can keep alk at 8-9 and 450-470 calcium. My mag is normaly around 1380. Other than kalk I dose everything at once in the morning.

Can you mix up a gallon at a time? That would make it a little easier.
