Necessary Supplements in Nearly All Reef Aquaria
I keep returning to it because I can't find any new information about the usefulness or otherwise of trace elements and other substances. None that I trust anyway.- Calcium
- Alkalinity
- Magnesium (if not maintained by calcium addition methods and water changes)
- Iron (for aquaria growing macroalgae)
- Silicate (for aquaria with sponges, snails, etc.)

- Fatty acid supplements
- Iodine
- Strontium
- Borate
- Trace element mixtures
