Just wondering why you think not adding Ca, Mg and Alk supplements will not be neccesary and water changes will always handle these issues for you. For some people, yes maybe, but for most people adding various animals to their reef dosing at some point will be required.

The biggest downfall of most aquarists is a basic understanding of water chemistry.

A friendly word of advice. While frequent water changes are the chosen method for maintaining a reef tank by many, dont let some education in water chemistry seem unimportant. Its the main reason you see the word "HELP" in these forums.

The RB library has hours of reading on the subject and it will take much time, reading and application to your tank after that to understand it.

By the way...Red sea Coral has the best marks for salt on the one chart I have!
