Imo, Aquaforest salt mixes should only be used on tanks that either have a calcium reactor or doser. Same with any other salt brand that is formulated to emulate natural seawater.
If you rely on water changes to provide calcium and alkalinity you should choose a salt mix with elevated calcium and alkalinity.
Aquaforest and other salt mixes with natural seawater parameters will NOT "bump up" calcium and alkalinity the way a salt mix like Reef Crystals will.
