82 gives good growth and leaves a little room for error....but if it hits 85 you can expect ill results.

You shouldn't need to untill there is enough coraline to use the suppliments. Water changes will be enough for the first year or so. Then you can drip lime or kalk with your makup water and it will keep your Alk, Calc, Ph in ballance. Chances are coraline will be the least of your worries...
