What is your tank livestock and size

It’s depending on the type of corals you keep and the size of your tank

If your tank is a larger tank filled with mixed reef or mainly lps and softies, just dose calcium and alk

If your tank is sps dose all 3 major elements

If you want simplicity just dose alk and calcium and replenish magnesium with water change

But most important thing is to test first before dosing. So let’s say your calcium is 420 and alk is 8.4 currently but after a week your calcium drop to 380 and alk is 7.8 , then dosing is not really needed as water change is sufficient to replenish ( take into consideration tank size: so if you have a nano, water change but if a larger tank , start dosing slowly and test constantly until your reach your ideal parameters)

If you can dose a few times a day will be good
