Do we really need to add supplements?

Simple rule if thumb will guide you safely down the supplement aisle:

Don't add anything you don't test for.*

You may eventually find an exception you want to make, but that one's usually good for a lot of miles.

* And if you can't tell what's in it you certainly can't test for it, right?

Agree. If you can't test for it, don't add it.

Understand what you are saying but does that hold true for every tank? Some peoples tanks dependant on what bioload and type of corals they may have may not consume elements as say a full blown sps tank.

Absolutely!!!!

the equation is accurate.

What you are saying is that you have to minimize or eliminate the rate of change to get thing under control. So it just takes less dosing in tank that have less calcium consumption. and you can probably get that consumption low enough in say non-sps tank the dosing may not be required.

But still the equation is accurate.
