    I use Kent marine Nano-Reef...its a 2 part formula, just provides trace elements and such, but for more then 50 gallons you'd want something more concentrated...then I add kent PH buffer to the top off water

    There are a couple of Calcium, Magnesium, Stontium, and Potassium supplements, Brightwell's Liquid Reef is pretty good, but you still have to add a buffer.
