Tanks based on Aquaforest Products:

[Perry]

Af Reef Salt, AF Carbon, AF Phosphate Minus, to keep good water conditions. With mainly LPS, and sampling with SPS, you could replace minerals and trace with AF Component 123, you may not need much until the reef grows. Water changes if done weekly at 10-15% would likely be sufficient. For coral growth and acceleration, you could use AF Amino Mix, Vitality, Energy, and Power food. You may also want to look into Phyto Mix too. This type or mixed reef does not need what demanding sps reefs do, so you can bypass the Probiotic Method. Cheers

I would go with the reef salt and the 1+2+3+, keep is simple and as @Perry stated look at carbon option and definitely phosphate minus as you go test and move along.

Ok cool so thats what i will order now. Also read to use Bio S at the beggining to kick start the cycle? And good to pit in after water changes? Im putting water in right now as we speak its dripping in my tank from RODI. Ill mix the reefsalt in the tank slowly when it fills

Ok. I guess i can purchase that down the line since i dont need it right away

Let the tank run through its cycle. I would start going online with the Np pro and Pro bio s when you introduce the cleaning crew. Remember we want nutrients in the system. Nutrents are considered slight phosphates and nitrates between 2 and 5 and if it goes a little bit higher, no sweat.
