Maybe because I forgot to add it... lol

I don't see anything there that would work unless someone sees something else, only thing is Reef Complete but it's for maintaining levels, you may end up overdosing something else trying to use it to increase mag.

I don't see anything either. If you're ever looking for a decent coral supplement though, I add the Fuel to my LPS/broadcast feed.

Would the fuel add the same thing as the AB+?
Yes and a little more but I prefer it to AB+ as it doesn't raise phosphates as much and I currently have too much phosphate in my tank. One of my LFSs turned me onto Fuel as they were using it in their tanks and their corals always look really healthy. Nothing beats AB+ though for checking the flow in your tank.

It's hard to say how the Chocolate tang will react, do you have a acclimation box to test the waters? OR if issues arise i've heard folks have great success using a mirror to fight back aggression.
