I'm planning to do CaRx with masterflex pump to regulate Ca/Alk and then do ATI ICP testing 2-3 month intervals, and dose elements as needed, but not use the ATI essentials as I don't want the Ca/Alk. Especially don't want to spend $600 on Apex dosers when I have a $1000 CaRx system working just fine. I estimate for my 300G reef based on his estimated usage: $1200/yr = ATI essentials and bi-monthly ICP + $600 setup for dosers $600/yr = CaRx w/ ATI elements ($200 allowance) and bi-monthly ICP $500/yr = Water changes 10% / week (with waste water cost/resin etc) I'm not sure which way is best, but think they all follow same concept, replenish trace elements. I have no issue with nutrients, so I think water changes are kind of wasteful.

Keep in mind this is a large heavy SPS reef, most people are not using 750ml. $600 is far more than you need to spend on dosing pumps, our 6 head is only $199.
