    I have a mixed coral tank. Mainly LPS. I need new trace minerals and love seachem's products. I am trying to figure out what he Difference is between Reef Plus and reef Trace. As well as which product I should purchase.

    Which one should I buy?

    I use their Reef Complete, and Reef Buffer. Would you suggest any of Seachem's other products I should purchase since I am placing an order?

    Reef Plus is more of a growth product and Reef Trace replaces trace elements. Seachem suggests using them as a team and I have seen no harm done by them IME. If you change water weekly your trace elements may be OK.

    used reef plus on my nano tank - its vitamins and amino acids and as 2-10 states its a supplement rather than a replacement of trace elements

    I can vouch for the following Seachem products which I use regular

    Reef Advantage Calcium
    Reef advantage Magnesium
    Reef Complete ( which I use on my 60)
    Reef Builder - which I see your using
    Purigen
    Matrix Carbon

    excellent products IMO
