Thanks,

I would get the tank up and running first before ide start thinking about suppliments.Start off with a good salt mix and test kits (ammonia,nitrate,nitrite,calcium pH,and magnesium) then see where your at.
Im by no means an expert but thats where im at today and im just at the point where im thinking about supliments.My tank has been up and running since around May and havent had to add anything just yet.Although i am just now getting to the point of haveing to suppliment Calcium and Magnisium ,water changes every 2 weeks has kept my tank pretty close to where it needs to be.Im sure others will chime in with alot more knowledge and experiance than i .
Anyway Happy Reefing
