Question about ESV Salt.

Do you still have to dose your tank with their 2-part calcium, and magnesium products if you use their salt, and do regular water changes?

It would all depend on the usage of tank. if the lvls drop you are going to have to dose.

And it depends on the volume of water you have and orals you keep. I have a 57g sps dominated tank and I have to dose. There is no magic salt that you don't have to use supplements with unless you would do very frequent water changes.

Exactly.......

The salt has the same components as every other salt, just better (IMO) grade components. Every salt has Alk, Ca, Mg, & trace elements. No different than ESV.

The animals you have in your tank will dictate the required dosing. If you have mostly softies and LPS, your supplemental uptake will be less than if you have a heavily populated SPS tank.

Thank you folks. I figured as such, but being out of the hobby for 2 years made me a little rusty. There'a a lot of new stuff out there in the last 2 years. My tank is a tech 120. I plan on keeping some fish, LPS, and assorted softies. I don't My tank isn't put together yet. I recently got all the parts I feel I needed, but I think I'm going to wait until after Christmas to set it up (to much going on). In the mean time, I will slowly start putting everything together. I decided to go with dry rock, so I can take my time designing a cool rock formation.
Any other suggestions are always appreciated.
