No, I don't dose anything, but keep in mind that the trace elements a calcium reactor supplies to the system when dissolving calcium carbonate media, are in the exact proportions of that found in nature and in my humble opinion, play a great part in having a thriving colorful reef aquarium in your home. I cannot recommend a calcium reactor over the balling method enough... but that is just my opinion anyway.
Using the calcium reactor also eliminates the requirement for water changes to replenish missing trace elements.
For this 1000ltr system I syphon detritus from barebottom of display, and sump settling trap weekly, which uses 15ltrs (fifteen) of fresh Tropic Marin ASW to replenish. The does not receive any other water changes at all. It is very economical to run is bot monetary costs, and time costs, as the only other weekly maintenance is to clean skimmer cup and test alk and adjust carx effluent rate as required.
Every 6 months I clean all pumps, carx, replace T5 tubes as req (I try to replace after 1 year, but some are 18 months old)

Are all your corals LFS finds?
I'm having trouble finding anything but dull green acros and pink birdsnests as far as SPS goes in LFSs here in aus.

Try aquarium excellence on face book he normally has some nice corals and fish. He also can ship in Australia
