The only things that I add to my tank are Kents turbo calcium, Kent's superbuffer and an occasional drop of iodine. I also add Aragamight to my top off water.
Your supplement schedule will depend a lot on (1) what you are keeping, (2) your tank set up and (3) the frequency of your water changes  | |

I drip Kalkwasser for top-off water, and when tests show deficient, I add Lugols Iodine, Kent' turbo Calcium, Kent Buffer, and daily I add ESV B-Ionic. _________  I Love My Sig By John Hawkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GARF.org has what they consider to be an effective and from what I can tell proven additive schedule for their types of systems.
