Crakeur Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 You should be fine with just those two (that's all I plan on using, plus coral vital) but, if you see that certain animals are not behaving as they should (wilting xenia for example) you might need to add other supplements . I'm a firm believer in not adding too much crap to the tank. Unfortunately, I don't follow my own beliefs. I have enough chems and additives and supplements to start my own store. Link to comment

Brianc_4 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 B-ionic is the friggin mercedes of two part additives. Its all you need. Link to comment
Pikelet Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Mercedes? Man, I must be stuck in a damned Edsel in that case. The only supplement I add is Balls pickling lime. No problems to date and plenty of coralline. Link to comment
Brianc_4 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Hey, whatever works for your tank. If your corals are happy with the Edsel, than so be it. I just happen to be fond of B-ionic. God knows there are a million different ways to have a succesful tank;) Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Those are the only two, besides reef vital, that I use in my tank as well. Link to comment
Masoch Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Try kalkwasser / limewater at some point ... it's dirt cheap and will maintain alk and calcium. Enough kalk for a hundred gallons of makeup water + DIY dripper for auto-topoffs will cost less than 2 small bottles of b-ionic. It can also precipate out some metals and sulphates (a good thing). Since starting to add it, I've managed to fight back my perpetual hair and cyano algae plagues; I'm sold. As for other stuff, water changes replenish most other trace elements. Link to comment
