Iodide, Calcium, Strontium, Alkalinity

[aarmatting]

:scared: I talked to my place where I get all my fish and reef. He told that I need all Calcium, Iodide, Strontium, and Alkalinity. He also told me that the Calcium, Strontium and Alkalinity needed to be added twice a week and to be safe Iodide once a week. I am a beginner and would like all of your oppinions. I have a 29gal tank as well with a Skilter 250?? I think... but i also put a seperate air pump with a wood stone at the bottom of the skilter to help pro. skim... I also have a powerhead 402 and a 250 Aquaclear....
Another question... I put calcium in my tank and now it is cloudy. Any sug???:help:

i stongly urge you to not dose anything to your tank unless you have a test kit for it.. as it is possible to overdose alot of things. and some overdoses can lead to disaster.. do you have a reef tank, or a fish only tank... i dont think you really need all those things at all except the cal and alk.. but if you dont have a reef.. you dont really need the cal and alk as much either.... and btw Welcome to Saltwaterfish.com

Like the above post be careful what you dose if you don't know what your levels are right now. WELCOME
