Greetings - I have a sumpless ATO that draws from a 5 gallon reservoir of fresh water. I am trying to determine if I can add ca/kh/mg supplements separately to the reservoir so when my tank gets topped off, it is dosing it with the supplements. I have a 55 gallon tank and right now I top it off with about 2 gallons per day, but in the cooler months, it would probably only need 1/2 to 1 gallon topped off daily. Appreciate any guidance!

You can't add 3 part to top off water. They will bind together and precipitate out.

You can use kalk with top off.


 
does it matter that i'm using red sea foundation program and their coral nutrition supplements?
 
Part A and B need to be dosed at least 10 mins apart from each other. Ideally 30 mins apart is even better. Part C can be dosed whenever. Do a small experiment, add all three together in a small drinking glass of water and watch what happens, it could explain better.
