So I was going to put this in the fish medical forum but it's not so much just fish, but possibly inverts and corals as well. I'm pretty noobie and am looking at what I should have on hand for my fish, shrimp, and soon, my first corals. I have copper power, prazi, and just bought some seachem reef dip. I'm about to order some coral rx as Bayer isn't available in my state it's just bioadvanced. More or less whats everyone's reef tank medicine cabinet look like? Not necessarily everything. I'm sure we all have something that we bought that'll never get used again but which items would you absolutely make sure are always in your cabinet at the ready?

OH, and I hope everyone had a good Christmas yesterday!
 
I have some Reef Flux that I got when I had a bryopsis issue. If you haven't already gotten it set up, I would recommend a mixing station in general. That way if you do have issues/need to dose etc, you have premixed fresh salt ready, both for water changes and a QT tank.

I have one semi set up, I'm 0lanning on improving on it soon as it's kind of tight(space wise) and i want to open the area up, put a small countertop island, and keep all of my testers and such there. My sump is in my basement and display tank upstairs.
 
Been awhile, so bump. What's in your reef tank medicine cabinet? A buddy of mines having issues with potential BJD, and it'd be nice to have a list of things people like to keep on hand for just in case situations. Like brown jelly disease, potential fish diseases/injuries, etc. That way people can save some coin not having to overnight cipro in to save their coral etc.

Prazipro
Copper med.

That's it.
Everything is quarantined and if a fish gets sick in QT that's all I've ever needed.
