Additives for tank

[deuceb]

I see that many people add phytoplankton, calcium, and any other additional reef additives. What would you guys suggest
for a 10g nano?

Calcium, alkalinity (buffer), and maybe some DTs.

What's in the tank?
I'm far from a Nano expert but it would seem that water changes could be more frequent and then you wouldn't need any additives.

I change about 1-2gal of water a week. I have not added anything but a little calcium to help out the CLA.

I've used small dosings of B-Ionic bi-weekly with success... Just very small doses...

Phytoplankton is feeding the tank more so than dosing.
I dose absolutely NOTHING in my 20 - I did use some calk wasser to get the calcium up but that was very short lived ....
I do regular water changes and use RO water to drip to keep the salinity even ....
