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.

what's interesting is i've switched everything over from tropic marin a,b & c to aquaforrest's balling method and it has had me steadily dosing less. also... my cal, kH and mag are all holding a little higher than i'd like despite the doses getting smaller.
i think i'm going to relax my water change schedule from weekly to every other week to see if i can tune things a bit better.
