@jeremybrowntattoos elements are divided into major, minor, and trace. I believe major should be tested anywhere from daily to weekly. The others per month to monthly with ICP which is expensive but accurate and very helpful.I agree, we should always test for elements we add, but what about a two part alkalinity/calcium that has trace elements included, do you test for whatever trace elements that are in that two-part dosing system?
I just got my ICP test, I’m going to send it out today. It’s gonna be my first time doing it. I’m new to reefing so I’m figuring stuff out.

IMHO, with the money you spent on these stuff and icp testes, you could've bought a bucket of red sea salt. And with more frequent water changes you don't have to dose these elements and test for them and its a much much safer way to maintain your tank, simpler too (to me at least).I just got my ICP test, I’m going to send it out today.

That’s exactly what I was thinking too, my tank is very clean nutrients are very low, I have very good filtration a very good skimmer, I only do water changes because sometimes my sand bed gets a little dirty. I wanna minimize any testing. Here’s a picture of my tank.IMHO, with the money you spent on these stuff and icp testes, you could've bought a bucket of red sea salt.
