    I've been adding Reef Complete, Reef Calcium, Reef Carbonate, Reef Iodide, Reef Strontium, and Reef Plus. That's a lot of stuff going into the ol' tank. Do I really just need Complete and Plus? My Ca test came in at 450 :eek: , but that can't be right, so I am gonna redo it.

    I used Seachem stuff before I got the CR.

    If you run Reef Complete and Reef Carbonate you will do just fine.

    I would only use Reef Plus OR Reef Iodide and you shouldn't dose either unless you have a Iodide test kit.

    Reef Complete has Stronium in it and alway did a good job for me of maintain the level so i don't think the Reef Stronium is needed.

    I would looking to using SeaChem dry version as they will save you alot of money in the long run vs. the liquid versions.

    You can also ask Seachem directily as the have a forum on 3reef.
