    Is this a necessity? What happens with or without it?

    You need to be much more specific. If you're talking about the two part dosing, it depends on your load of corals. There are many ways to dose calcium alk and mag, BRS makes a dosing mix that's much cheaper than premixed. It's needed if your corals are consuming alk mag and calcium as that's what they use to live/grow.

    My 4 corals in my 75 gallon are not nearly enough to constitute dosing so a monthly water change will replenish what they use.

    It all depends, like Devin mentioned are you talking about the 2-Part or Instant Salt?

    I was going to use B-Ionic but last minuet switched over to Warner Marine 2-Part solution.

    I honestly think its a great solution, Ill be using it in my Biocube 29 shortly.
