So been running the scrubber for some time now and was wondering what and how I should be dosing my tank if Im not doing any water changes. I have some test kits but what is most important. I dose magnesium,kalk for calcium, and the occasional trace ..but my stuff I always use is gone so Im ready to get what i need just dont know what yet.. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I just dose Kalk and various foods (especially oyster and Nori), nothing else.

Same as Garf here, I just dose Kalk about 98% of the time. Occasionally I will dose just sodium bicarb (baking soda) if the Ca is over 550PPM or Calcium chloride if the Alk does not need adjusting or if the Ca gets under 380PPM.

Iron may be helpfull.
Iron may be helpfull.
Hence the Nori, but yes, iron additions may be necessary eventually.

Kalk keeps everything on check for me. But I have two part handy in case any adjustments are necessary.
