    My LFS uses and recommends the Two Little Fishies PArt A/B that lunatik mentioned.

    I too am having a time figuring which supplements to use.. I'v landed on Kent Marine Nano-Reef part A/B buffer system.


    Butttt.. That only provides so many chemicals and they have other supplements too.. Im sticking to the buffer solution for now though so I have less chance of messin things up! Blahh.

    dependant on which corals are housed a Ca reactor with kalwasser is a must.

    I used it for the first 6-7 mos my tank was up and it worked fine. After adding some clams and sps I needed to add 8-10 ounces a day to keep the numbers up. That just didnt seem like a good thing so I started dripping kalk and that is so much better. I have started mixing 1 gal water with 1 teaspoon kalk and 1 teaspoon vinegar and just pour it in the sump. Guess thats not dripping. My problem is that my work is going crazy and its hard for me to remain consistent with the dosing. My bad.
