What do you use to maintain your water chemistry in your reef tank?
 
Oceanic salt and RO/DI water for my Nano and the same plus a Geo calcium reactor for my 100G mixed reef. I also run a half dose of GFO and small amount of GAC in separate Phosban reactors and have chaetomorpha macroalgae in my refugium. Thats it, no other supplements or additives unless I find my magnesium level is low where I use BRS bulk two part magnesium mix.
 
Baking soda for alk, Calcium Chloride from BRS for Ca. WC's keep my Mg where it should be. I also dose kalk in my top off, which aids the Alk and Ca, and utilizes some of the CO2 in the system to help keep the pH up.
 
Baking Soda, Calcoin Liquid Calcium, Caulperpa, Halameda, Cheato, Brightwell Magnesium, Vodka.
