AF 3 part dosing has more then just ALk, Ca and Mg.. there are different trace elements in each which are either cation or anion hence the need for the AF 3 part to be balanced is about as easy as I can explain why it has to be equal dosing with AF

very true

Don’t they all have other elements? Those must follow the same anion/cation principle or is that unique to AF?
Unique to AF/TM balling
They are all dynamic and should be dosed according to daily consumption which is still subject to change.

Well not according to AF instructions.
“ Enter the Component 1+, 2+, 3+ System which is a truly comprehensive dosing solution for reef aquariums. The system is based upon the balling method where three individual additives are dosed in equal parts to maintain calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium without creating an ionic imbalance. Aquaforest took this a step further and also included the necessary minor and trace elements that corals deplete from the aquarium water as they grow and metabolize. Everything your reef tank corals need with three simple solutions dosed in equal parts each and every day.”
Thats from BRS but I’m pretty sure it’s accurate.

My answer was simpler.
