my tank is already ULN my nitrates and phosphates are constantly dancing with 0ppm, I haven't done a water change in a few months and my corals are doing fine.
at the moment I am dosing coral system 1-4 for my trace elements but I am not sure if this covers all my elements, I am also looking for something cheaper if there is one.
I am also looking at the all-for-reef powder, I am not sure how good this is and if it covers everything.

Research Reef Moonshiners or Dutch Synthetic Reefing. These methodologies might be interesting to you.

I use Reef Plus by Seachem
 
I just got my ati icp test back and everything looks spot on and after 4 months no water changes just dosing all for reef and measuring alkalinity to stay at 8.4 dkh on the hanna checker
impressive! do you have a PDF file of your results you're willing to share? what salt mix do you use?
I'll do a 100% water change over the span of the next few days and then start dosing that.
 
I'm dosing Reef Anabolics. It's an Aussie product
Mixed with Randy's recipe 1 or 2
thanks for the recommendation! Unfortunately I don't think I'll be going this route as I'd rather not dose a product I can't find much information on.
 
Red Sea ABCD has worked pretty good for me in the last 6 years I havnt done a water change.

Nice! for now, I'm going to try out all for reef as I am getting a pretty good deal from a local.
I'll go a few months without a water change, run an ICP test, and if all for reef doesn't meet my expectations I'll be sure to try out red sea ABCD!

also, you have gone 6 years without a water change!! Do you have pictures of your tank you're willing to share? I'd love to see them!
