I have a couple of frags in my 20 tank. One zoanthid and one mushroom. How important is monitoring calcium,phosphates and Alk. Do soft corals need these monitored as much as hard corals do ? Right now I only monitor ammonia,nitrites,PH, and nitrates.
 
I would just monitor alk, they don't use calcium to build skeletons so that won't change. I'd check phosphates if you see a bloom in algae.
