Alright - instead of making a slew of threads about the chemicals I was told to use, I figured that I can just make a general thread.
Until then, I'm gonna keep reading through some threads... lots of research to be done!
- The old LFS told me to get "Marine Buffer" to get my pH stabilized. I was about to get it again... except when I was reading a bit more, was told that it could often raise phosphates. So, I'm looking at either Reef Buffer by Seachem or Superbuffer-dKH by Kent.
- Previously, I used Oceanic salt. However, it appears that most people here like Reef Crystals. My next water change will be using that

- To raise calcium I've been using Reef Advantage Calcium by Seachem and Purple Up (not any more). I think most people like Tech•CB Part A/B by Kent. Anything else recommended to raise calcium and make the corals/coralline happy? :huh:
- Use Vita Chem and Kent Marine Concentrated Iodine once per week. Use Garlic Xtreme while feeding (2-3x per week).
- Plan to use Seachem Prime Water Conditioner, unless I get my water from my LFS or purchase a RO/DI unit.
