I have a 12 gallon nano running since january. I Have 2 false percs and a handful of hermits and snails. I just bought the B-ionic system buffers for calcium so I can start working towards being good for corals. Im being very cautious with this tank because its my baby and ive been working my heart out on making sure its perfect. So i ordered my reef master test kit to keep up on the alk and calcium tests and I was wondering do I need to add any other supplements, which corals I should start with, and should I be adding the supplements directly to the aquarium or to my water changes? Thanks in advance

depends on the corals you want. I think more important than calcium and alkalinity is lighting and flow. Also it depends on what supplements for how to add them. I have Iodine that I'm suppose to add a drop or two daily but trace elements is only bi-monthly.
