I'm going to dose the following solutions with a separate dosing head and container for each: Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium, Trace Elements. I am going to dose Calcium on alternate days from Alkalinity to prevent precipitation. I would like to dose Magnesium on alternate days as Trace Elements. Which would be better: dose Magnesium on the same day as Calcium or the same day as Alkalinity? And dose Trace Elements on the same day as Calcium or the same day as Alkalinity?
 
I can't imagine if you dose them 15-30 minutes apart that they would precipitate with the amount of flow that is in our tanks.
 
I dose Cal during day and alk at night. And my reef fule 2 times a week during the day. And I don't do mag as it is always high when I test. But I think ur thinking to much about it.
 
You shouldn't have precipitation if you dose everything the same day as long as you space them out a little bit. My doser can dose every hour and separates each head by 5 minutes, I didn't have precipitation when I was using a 2 or 3 part.

If you stick to your plan of different additives on different days, I don't think it will matter when you do the mg and trace.
