Well let me add something on topic. Nothing is truly zero maintenance but this comes close. I had my saltwater set up like this and would rarely do water changes. They were to make sure I didn't lose too much salt. Most of the time I would top off with Ozark a spring water. At the time I had gobies and seahorses along with some inverts and the tank was wet planted with calurpa.
Actually I think the only reason things got out of hand is I didn't change the light bulbs for years...

Have been doing zero maintenance for 3 years now.
Big fuge, skimmer, and uv is all I have.
No socks, no gfo, no carbon.
Guess it’s not zero maintenance. Since I still feed, clean glass, and empty skimmer and fuge.

Trial and error. Depends on livestock, and how much evaporates. Then check cal and alk and adjust accordingly. Doesn’t swing around much, and certainly not quickly. Gets a lil hi, add less, gets a lil low, add more. Mostly add 3-4 tablespoons per ato refill, and check levels every month or two.
When I first started kalk, being trained in two part, I checked all the time. But now I know about how much works so just make sure everything is in order every month or two. and with big fuge check mag levels every few months as well.
With long term kalk dosing you should keep an eye on ph as well
