would i need to add anything to the product on top of it
You could just use magnesium sulphate and calcium sulphate for GH and potassium carbonate if you want some KH. This will save you a ton of money. The IFC cert calculator will help you to work out quantities.

I assume with that RO unit your tank is fairly large so using that remin product would prove quite costly, 250g for £14.50 using 1 level (presumably supplied) spoon per 15l. If you're familiar with Excel using the IFC Aquarium Fertilizer Calculator along with Calcium Sulphate and/or Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Sulphate and Potassium Carbonate/Bicarbonate will eventually save you a small fortune.

Or ask if you have any issues using it. I have teamed up with another expert and have plans on some prescriptions for DIY remineraliser's for various GH/KH scenarios/remin regimes for keeping various livestock and an update to the IFC so the remin regimes can easily be used with it as well.

Based on its ancestor, the new IFC Aquarium Fertilizer Calculator is completed at last. This has been a long (sometimes fun, sometimes painful) adventure for us. We have spend more time than we care to admit but here it is, ready to roll. Home screenshot here below:

No worries. Another option is potassium bicarbonate as a 'kinder, gentler' way of boosting potassium and KH. If you wanted to add a straight-up base to increase pH (and thereby KH) more aggressively you could also consider a dilute solution of KOH. Once in the water column and equilibrated with atmospheric CO2 you get to the exactly the same place with any of these.
