+1 for this. Plus my salt is pretty high quality so I don't normal need to add anything besides a little magnesium. I will snow my tank after a WC to help with clarity and it gives a little boost to trace elements.

I use the Zeo coral snow. Used to use Julian Spring but found it didn't do as much to help clarify.

To answer the invisible poll question, I like to use a bit of Kien dissolved in RODI water for my water changes. Haven't tested it myself but been told by several reliable sources that Kien has high trace mineral content, (higher than IO at least).

Coral snow and marine snow are completely two different things.
