So now that you know what I have, what else do I need to have a successful reef? I don't have alot of money but I'd like to have some Frogspawn/Hammer Corals and I want them to prosper. I also want a Mandarin Dragonet longterm.
 
I have some people in the area that I live in that say I need to dose calcium/alk or get a calcium reactor to help with the reef....is that true?
 
No, you don't need to dose if your using a reef grade salt until you have a large stony coral bio load.
