My tank is a 150G 2 years old heavy stacked with corals, and iv been using afr powder for the whole 2 years. But now i reached a point where im over 135ml a day. I do automatic water changes daily. 1% and afr but i cant keep up. Need a recommendation for 4 part and traces please let me know

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.

Everything dropping mag, alk, calc.
 
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.

So the key is just keep dosing afr) im at 120ml. Sick of mixing every week man. My dosing container is small too. And i have no where of adding a bigger one idk
 
I invite you to consider a calcium reactor

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