Another big no no is adding anything to the tank that you can not test for and do not know the proper levels for.
IE there is iodine supplement that if you are not testing for it and the tank isnt useing it as fast as you put it in the level will soon become toxic to the tank.
There are very few circustances where you need to add chamicals and elements to the tank the main people that have to add them are people with SPS dominate tanks because these corals use up ALOT of elements quickly for the main body of hobbiests the monthy or bi weekly water change is more than enough to replenish the trace elements that are being used up.
