What size is your system and what do you have in it?

Have you tried regular water changes versus dosing? Have you tested over time and determined your demands to determine if dosing is even necessary? Many people dose because someone told them to when it really is causing more harm than good. If regular 10-20% water changes and testing with reliable test kits doesn't show you have a demand then I would go the simple route and quit dosing until such time as testing shows it is needed. Two or three part supplements don't have to be added equally, you dose based on regular, long term test results. I haven't dosed my16G nano in 15 years and it is doing fine.
