I was just wondering what the deal is with reef additives (stronium, iodine, calcium etc.) and if I should use them. The bottles say to add weekly, some even every four days. I don't do as many water changes as I should due to the fact I don't like using tap water. Haven't gotten a R/O -D/I unit yet, so I've been buying my water from walmart for $.73 a gal. I don't get out there enough and when I do I can only transport enough for one or two changes. But anyway I have some of the additives and have been adding them every now and then. Should I get on a regular routeen? Is what the bottles say, what I should add? I know with some like calcium and iodine you need to test your water for there levels to see what you should add. Is it like this for all of them and I just haven't seen the test kit?
