45 to 120ml of each?bionic is much more concentrated so you will use much more elements to keep parameters the same. In my tank I went from 45 ml bionic 2 part to 120 ml of elements 1,2and 3A/B. When I switched from bionic I already had an established refigium yet I still got a lot of algae in my DT. all the micronutrient really benefit algae so to combat nuisance algae I really had to stay on top of my phosphates.
So about 30ml for me since I have about 70 gal10ml per 100 liters of total system volume.

Ok so just spread each of them evenly over 24hrs?... No need to be concerned with alk at night, cal at day? Correct?Spreading out the dosing through out the 24 hour period would be better than all at once.
What do you mean by separate carbonate (or bicarbonate)?Correct - You will need a separate carbonate or bicarbonate to adjust the DKH to 8. Dose the elementz equally through out the 24 hour period. Stagger the dosing or dose away from each other in separate areas in the return chamber.
Just monitor the DHK. If the DKH is low say 7 DKH then use the carbonate or bicarbonate to put the DKH back to 8 and raise the elementz dosing.
After about two weeks you will get dialed in and you can monitor the DKH weekly and then every two weeks.
The calcium and the magnesium will fall out of sink. Don't worry, no need to chase the numbers and drive yourself crazy. Every thing will fall in place with this method.
Just monitor the DKH, so easy.
You're going to experience the coral growth, consuming more and more Elementz consumption.
Let the good, the bad, and the ugly algae grow in the refugium. Add every kind of algae you can get your hands on to the refugium.
I started the elementz the first week last December and these were just frags!

All four get dosed in equal proportions?
Not exactly. When you mix the elements, part 1 makes 10 liters, part 2 makes 10 liters, part 3 and part 4 are mixed together with 8 liters of RODI to make 10 liters of part 3A/3B. You dose the 3A/3B solution in equal volume to parts 1 and 2. If you are keeping parts 3A and 3 B in separate containers then you would dose both of those half the amount of parts 1 and 2.
