didnt u ask this simalar question yesterday? you HAVE to test your water and then you see when you need to add calcium /alk/mag. buy yourself some good kits..salifert are the best.

Water changes should be more than enough for those corals. Though is good to know your Calcium levels

Go buy quality brand test kits and you will answer your own question...

Honestly, I'd suggest that you should be testing and supplementing the aquarium with calcium and alkalinity well before you get any corals. There are lots of calcifying organisms in reef aquaria besides corals. Coralline algae, for example, are often a big draw on calcium and alkalinity. As above, I'd begin testing and supplementing as needed immediately.

+1, I don't add anything I cant test for. Test first, then add if you ned it.
