Up until now I have tried to keep my tank as simple as possible. I use red sea coral pro salt, bionic for calcium, and kent essential elements (which I only use because someone told me to when I first started, so it is just habit and I have no idea if it is beneficial in any way). Here is my question.....


What chemicals do ya'll use in your tanks and why?

I want to begin keeping more difficult corals and I figure that means I need to change the simplicity of my tank. I am nervous about mixing chemicals, because so many additives duplicate some of the elements they contain. I do not want to overdose my tank! I am really interested to see what many people here on maast use in to their tanks and how each additive might be valuable. I just don't want to end up with a million pointless bottles under my tank!
