I was wondering, I noticed that BRS made a video about how to dose Red Sea trace elements per output of fully saturated kalkwasser. Is there any way to dose the trace elements to the RODI reservoir that will be fed into the kalk reactor to make an all in one solution? I feel like that would eliminate some unnecessary steps and keep everything in equal ratios. Would the trace elements in the water affect the waters ability to become fully saturated?
 
No this is not possible to do as the traces you are feeding in, will get precipitated out, by the high pH of the kalkwasser. This is often considered a feature of kalkwasser, self purifying, but in this case it becomes a bug. ;)
