Can you give some more details about your setup. Lighting, flow, equipment, water chemistry. IMO kalk or 2 part is the best way to go for daily dosing needs. Depending on your tank mag may need to be dosed as well. 2 part has any other trace elements in there also so you are dosing more than you think. Read what is in the brand you use, most use B Iconic or Kent Nano 2 part. What is working for me is kalk dose through my ATO, weekly water changes with a good reef salt and I dose AAs to give the corals a little boost. Always test for what you are dosing!

Do you test your nitrates and phosphates? Having those as close to zero as possible is one of the most important things for sps.

use a dosing pump on the 90 for alk, calc, and magnesium. No other additives and coral food (if you have fishes) is needed to have a really nice tank. I'm being brutally honest.
ok my builds lightings are 4 400 metal halides my tank is 36 tall thats why lol i have bought a calcium reactor i also have a deltec kalk reactor a super reef octopus xp5000 skimmer my flow im using 2 6205 tunzes but my profilux that i bought here is what im going to use to controll the tanl has also the 3 dosing pump thats why im asking what should i use a calcium reactor or the dosing
