Hey guys,
Is there an all in one calcium/magnesium/ alkalinity buffer for my 3 gallon pico reef tank? Currently made my first water change with reef crystals. Or what do you recommend to improve those parameters?
 
On a 3 gallon pico water changes will be the best intervention in my opinion. Water changes with reef crystals mixed to the proper SG should correct any issue.
 
Thanks for the advice Tahoe61. How much of a water change and how often do you recommend on that size tank? With 1 clown and softies?
 
Do you have an automated top off? If not get one, a JBJ would work well on that size of tank.

1/2-1 gallon weekly to start, check chemistry and adjust as needed. :)
