additives

[dcrrlb]

I currently use coral-vite, iodine, garlic guard to my food, and of coure my calcium additives. is there any other beneficial additive to include? are any of the above unnecessary to add?

My advice it to test water levels before you dose anything.
If you're adding Calcium but nothing for Alkalinity you are bound to have an unbalanced tank.
I personally see no reason to add Iodine. It has no benefit and yet an overdose can quickly crash a tank.
The only use for Garlic is to increase the appetite of a sick fish. Healthy fish will eat just about anything you give them without the Garlic.
