What do I need?

[adamizy]

I'm starting to put corals in my 20gal. Right now I have brown polyps on rocks, 2 clowns, hermitcrabs/snails. I want to start off with easy corals like zoas, feather dusters... then move on to more advanced ones. I want to know what additives I need like Kent marine calcium, zooplex, etc... any input would be appreciated.

probably dont need much additives yet since you dont have too much stuff, but for when you stock up more I would dose calc and alk if you decide to keep clams, sps, lps. I use the 2 part mix from bulkreef

The main stuff that you will need is calcium alkalinity and magnesium. i dont know if you have yet but your should start testing for that stuff. plus keeping your nitrates and your phosphates low is going to be the best place to start.

I would just stick to waterchanges. Don't dose anything until you start testing water and have corals or anything else that actually would use up cal or alk. like SPS or clams... things that really put a tax on the system.
