I use the Instant Ocean Reef Crystals.

According to this (http://www.rudyv.be/Aquarium/sels.pdf) it looks okay. Not the best, but not the worst, either. That document could be quite old, so it is possible that values have changed since it was published.

But of course, not being totally sure of what affects what, the document isn't a huge amount of use to me.

water changes should be plenty for soft/LPS, sps would require daily dosing (my tank would deplete to half its alk each day if i didn't have a 2 part doser setup)

That article and many others like it will give you an exceptional understanding of reef aquarium chemistry. Like you, I'm not a big fan of the subject either, but after reading a lot of Randy's work on ReefKeeping.com I feel pretty confident these days. Search the archives on that site and on advancedaquarist.com for more from him.
