    Hi, I filled my 40 gal tank with Ro/di water and salt last week. Today i added 25 lbs of live rock, my question is what additives do i need to put in my tank? I plan on keeping corals, and fish.

    Thanks

    For now nothing... Your tank will go through a natural cycle, test your water until your cycle is done. Then we can start talking about adding anything in the tank, live stock or additives. Be patient, go slow...

    definitly don't worry about additives at this point. continue adding your live rock and doing your tests. when your done as stated above we'll all give you a list of additives.
