Chemical additives/ Proper equipment/ Genral question

[Classic_Rich]

Good day all,

What chemicals will I need to purchase in order to sustain (beginner) LPS corals? Are reactors needed? What does the community suggest for a healthy marine environment? Random for a better understanding. let's say I have an ALK problem of being too high, would I treat in the same manner as one would do for a freshwater tank or a specific way to engage for proper correction? Thank you all for taking valuable time in addressing my concerns. Peace. Have a great day!

Can you tell us more about your tank? How big is it? What are your test numbers (alk, ca, mg, nitrates, phosphates, ph, temp, salinity)? What filtration do you already have? How new is your tank? There’s lots of ways to keep a stable system so the more info we have, the more we can help you out!

Yes, I can. My tank is still in the building stages, no water as of yet. I am gathering knowledge in order to give myself the best possible experience as I embark on this new adventure.

As for my Tank, this is what I have:

A 60-gallon homemade cube.
20-gallon homemade refugium.
