I have recently upgraded my 90 to a 180, parameters are: alk 8.4 cal 440 mag 1400, nitrates close to 0, phos >.03 undetectable with my test kit. Very stable and I only use socks and skimmer for exporting atm. And I'm using BRS 2 part for dosing, mixed reef with heavy sps.
My question is about dosing trace elements, what I might be missing? Everything looks great and is growing nicely, but I find it hard to believe a 20% monthly water change will replenish trace elements if they are low. The math just doesn't add up for me.
I know the saying if its not broke then don't fix it, but I'd like to get some info so I can better understand. When I was younger I did water changes for exporting nutrients and now it seems I am doing them for importing lol.
