What is the one reef additive you swear by?

[mrnicebug]

I know for me, it can get overwhelming at times with the amount of different things you can add to your tank to help with chemical levels or just having a healthier system. I am wondering what is the one additive you live by when it comes to your tank. Curious to know what everyone says!

Just like the others Kalk

Baking Soda

AFR seems to keep my tank stable but calcium seems to never catch up and I have to dose. I also have to occasionally add mag. My nitrates have also remained the steadiest thing about my tank since I started dosing ammonia.

Where do you get that? Seems like only UK vendors sell it.

Sodium hydroxide for alkalinity. I don’t think I’ll ever use another alkalinity additive.

I first got it from Europe. Deltec usa used to sell it but is out. I contacted them as I need a 5000l size. They dont know when it will be in stock and I cant order it. I will probably order from europe again and get 2×5000l size.

Salt. Good salt.

I didn’t read the whole thread to see if anyone else was sarcastic before me

If we're going to play that game, then my answer is...water.

I add it every day and bet you do as well.

AFR but it has some limits. Using alk as the test paremeter other things get out of whack. Calcium and mag got high but alk was low. It can get expensive and has no ph bennie. Started trying sodium carbonate in ATO to balance it but not sure how its going ao far. Alk got high. Ph did go up a little but trying to find balance.

 

[Evil1]

AFR for sure!
