What all do I need besides calcium??

How big is your tank?

I run my 29g the nano-reef way. I don't really dose anything...just 20% water changes per week with reef crystals. My corals look really happy, but my coraline spreads pretty slow. I don't really mind though...I have too darn much on my plate to be doing daily tests....or at least that's what I tell myself to feel better about it. ;)

While calcium demand won't be all that high, you should still keep an eye on alkalinity (testing and adding a buffer or one half of a two part solution), as there will be a demand placed on that. I recommend this site and plain Arm & Hammer baking soda to maintain alkalinity. Of course, you will need a decent accompanying test kit, as well.

Hey, that is why everyone is here...we have to keep each other sharp. If one person forgets something crucial, there is always someone else to add it in. Makes me feel better, especially when I forget stuff (eh, I feel old :drool:).
