Saltwater needs

[fishfatty]

Im just starting to get my tank ready to add live rock, and live sand and stuff. can someone please tell me every single kind of food, additives, medicines, ect. for my tank, that i will need now, and in the future. I have a 75 gal, soon to be FOWRL, and have a few corals towards the top. Thanks :joy:

What kind of fish are you going to keep?
What corals are you going to keep? Don't dose for anything you are not going to test.
Why would you need medicine if nothing is sick?

Perhaps you should consider investing in a good book.

I'd also recommend reading through as many threads on here as you can.

If this is your only tank (no QT) be sure to check your medicine for copper when/if you do buy. Inverts don't take copper lightly.

"A Conscientious Marine Aquarist" By Fenner should be your first investment. The book really does a good job explaining the different ways to filter a tank, need for water changes, different types food, etc.
