nice. well B-ionic is a supplement for alk and cal.
here some info
B-Ionic Calcium Buffer is the original, unique, easy to use, two-component liquid supplement system. When using equal volumes of each component, the aquarist can easily maintain calcium and alkalinity levels with no mixing powders, disruption of ionic balance, or addition of organic chemicals. B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System does not contain phosphates or nitrates. In addition to supplying highly concentrated calcium and carbonate alkalinity required for calcification, B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System also provides all other important major, minor, and trace elements in the proper ratios to duplicate the composition of natural seawater. As a result, B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System will help restore inorganic ions lost from protein skimming and help maintain the ionic balance of the aquarium water.

[meowzer]

Depends on the coral.....some really need an established tank...some you can just toss in and they grow..LOL..
Why don't you start with an inexpensive zoa???

I don't use any buffers or additives ....If you just do regular water changes you should not have to add anything

 

[troy989]

ok my lfs has tons of coral they have lots of sps, frogspawn, polyps and everything (i know i cant have sps) and they have kewl mini clams

 

[troy989]

ill get corals maybe some cheap zoa like meowza said haha it rimes zoa meowza when i get the lr back to normal in about a week after i treat clownfish

 

[chaseter]

My zoas are doing great. I have about 5 frags in there and they are growing like crazy. I do weekly water changes and I feed them marine snow about 3 times a week. I also use the kent nano reef additive so that they get all the micro and macro nutrients that they need.

 

[troy989]

i think im getin yellow polyps for first coral
