We all know there are tons of additives/treatments/supplements in this hobby... Some have proven their worth and others have been branded 'snake oil'...
Using the poll tell us what bottles are considered 'essentials' in your fishroom (pick your top 4). If there's one that's not mentioned in the...

I'm still beginning my first reef tank and know very little about some of the basic additives I'll need for a successful tank. I don't have much money to spend so I'd like to know some of the most influential or basic additives I could get and have on hand. Could anyone please shed some light on...
Hi,
Hoping for some help/advice. I don't use any AF products for my 120G DT or 40G Frag tank. I am currently using BRS 2-Part dosing (Ca, Mg, ALK) along with supplements for the essential components. Use IO Reef salt along with BRS RO System as salt water source for both my tanks.
