What is the one reef additive you swear by?

[Gumbies R Us]

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!

All for reef has done a pretty good job on my ~0 water change system. My only true complaint is the lack of potassium.

 

[Greybeard]

Kalkwasser

Inexpensive, easy, balanced Calcium and Alkalinity, boosts pH... what's not to like?

Ok, it can't keep up with a high demand system... but it can certainly lower the amount of other materials you need to dose.

 

[aphinney]

Kalkwasser for sure

 

[Alexraptor]

All-For-Reef! It's made my life so much easier!

 

[fodsod]

All for Reef powder gets my vote also. It covers Alk, Cal, Mag, trace elements and so on. Easy to mix, and easy to dose. My mixed reef tank has done very well since starting it about 6 months ago.

 

[TheSheff]

Reef Elixir. Not good for low nutrient systems as it has a carbon source, but it is like a better version of all for reef!!

 

[Leadfooted]

Brightwell Restore

 

[JoJosReef]

AFR. A thousand time AFR.

 

[BanZI29]

All for reef and Brightwell restor. my tank has never been happier. I have a mixed softie and LPS reef.

 

[Slocke]

Bacto balance has given me nutrient stability finally.

 

[Nano_Man]

Salfert All in One does the job

Fritz ACCR ammonia eliminator works for me whenever ammonia spikes.

Salfert All in One does the job

Sucks we cant get it here in the states.

I'm on the AFR wagon, single biggest thing I've ever seen make a difference on a tank.

You can not get it in the states it on every fish shop shelf’s in the uk Strange you can’t get it there is there a reason

 

[fishybizzness]

All 4 reef for the win! My tank has never been more stable since I started using it! I also have a kalk stirrer. The all 4 reef really keeps my parameters stable!

 

[ninjamyst]

Fish poop

 

[00W]

Club soda and Kent ph buffer.
ME coral liquid calcium.

 

[Narideth]

Ahem

Salt.



For real though, I'm following to see what people use, I'm debating offering some supplementation to my mixed tank.

 

[legalizedreefer]

+1 on all for reef

Another for me is KZ Coral Vitalizer. I don’t have any proof to back it up I just swear my acros and Mille polyp extension dramatically improved since I started with the stuff
