Red Sea trace test kit and additives

[mrpontiac80]

I’m thinking I want to get the Red Sea trace elements test kit and trace additives. My most recent icp came back and water quality is showing a little more off than usual. Low iodine, higher potassium, low manganese and so on.
I currently run the tank dosing All For Reef and it keeps everything I test for very steady. I love it. I will admit, I have been lacking in my water change routine. I still do them but not as often as I did before the tank upgrade in march of 2023. I went from a 65 gallon to a 180 gallon.

I’m just curious from real world experience if you all are pleased with the test kit and elements, or if I should save my money for more salt aka water changes lol.

I personally see best results with water changes myself.. I got lazy with them during the summer months cause my water was too hot in the Vegas heat in my garage.. now that winters here I’ve been changing 75-100 gallons every 2 weeks and my tank took off!

for a minute I did almost their whole program: trace, algae control, 2 part…
I use NOPOX/DIY but shelved the trace program…
IMO water changes seemed easier
