Recently switched from red sea to brs 2 part dosing. My tank is a 26 gal nano aio. I perform weekly water changes with tm pro. Looking for trace elements recommendations if any. My tank is a mixed reef, mostly lps, some sps and softies.

How big a water change do you do and what’s your alkalinity consumption like? If doing a large enough water change you may not need to dose trace elements at all.
