All but the kalkwasser are really unnecessary imo. Your salt mix makes up for the trace/essential elements as long as you are keeping up with weekly water changes. You can either drip the kalk or use it as top off.
Here's a great article about dosing kalk. Randy always puts it best.  What Your Grandmother Never Told You About Lime http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-01/rhf/index.htm And another goody...

What are you measurements for pH, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium.
You should always measure these before you decide what and how or whether you need to dose your tank.
