Now i understand the use of quality salts. My Q is am i missing something? Does anyone do this with great growth on your sps?

On a 20gal depending on how heavily stocked it is you could probably get away with just water changes with specific salts. Natural seawater is around 420ppm Ca, 8dkh KH and 1300ppm Mg. So for example you could use something like Seachem Reef which I've tested as high as 550ppm Ca when you need more Ca or IO for Alk which I've seen at 11dkh. Or combine the two like I do for a balanced salt mix with high levels of those two elements.
