Does anemone care for alk, ca, mag?

[this is me]

I'm plannning on pulling my ca reactor which is my supply of daily alk, ca, and mag. I only want to keep my onyx clowns and my gigantic. I do weekly water change of 10%.
I already sold most of my Sps. Once they are all gone, will I need this ca reactor set up?

It depends on your system and inhabitants. Alk stabilizes PH, so you will still need to keep that in check. The method you use for this is up to you.

+1 on this. Stable PH is the only thing nems would care about. Calcium is needed for critters with skeletons. Nems don't have skeletons. If you don't have stony corals, regular water changes should keep up with any trace mineral needs for most inhabitants.

If I remove all stony and only have fish and nem, my alk and ca should be pretty stable since there's little to no consumption is present shouldn't it?

It should. Especially if you change water on a regular basis, and keep the salinity up. You'll just need to check it to insure the numbers are where they should be.

You don't even need to remove all of the stonies unless you want to. Regular water changes will keep up with most needs unless you have a fair amount of corals.

I would still keep water parameters as close to natural sea water as possible. Even if all the inhabitants are consuming very little minerals, they do best with the proper balance and the keeping of the minerals in the correct ratios. When magnesium is out of balance then calcium forms a precipitate, just for an example.

If water changes alone do not keep the balance up, then maybe a two or three part additive will. Just my 2 cents.

I have found my Haddonis react (( poorly )) to lowish (( under 1000 )) levels of Mag.

Would you say your anemones are easier to keep than most corals? Because <1000ppm Mg would be harsh to a lot of corals. JMO
