Bell and whistles?

After reading all these awesome replies and questions I've come to realize that as a new hobbiest you've made the smartest move you'll ever make. That was asking the questions in the first place. To many people jump in and ask nothing and don't do any research. Then when things go bad they either bail or expect everyone to help them out when they've done nothing to help themselves.

Hats off to you for forward thinking and preparing yourself.

I use kalk in my ato system instead of a two part dosing system. It helps maintain alk, ca, and keep ph stable. NOTE I said maintain. Do not use it to raise alk or ca because it will also raise your ph! So start with a low dosage. I also have a gallon jug of BRS' two part magnesium mixed with Rodi in case I need to add some. So good test kits for ph, ca, alk, and mg are needed for a reef tank.
