I was trying to get some ideas of additives to use in my tank. I would like to use to simplest way. If there is a all in one that someone would knows about that I can start using.
Also is there a type of food you like also.
Has anyone ever used "Purple Up"

you will get mixed results with this.  I myself try to add as little as possible to the tank.  I dose very little strontium and myoblium (hope I spelled right)  I do this for my clams.  other than that I dose nothing.  
and as for food.  I use flake and a home made "mush" consisting of: clams,scallops,cyclopeeze,oystereggs,nori and some vitamin supplements

Seachem liquid Calcium (Reef Builder) 5 ml per gallon of IO usd during water changes
Half cube frozen Brine or Mysid + Cyclopeze, per day.

I run a CA reactor so I don't add anything other then my usual water change.  But I am beginning to start to add potassium to my tank.  I am waiting for my test kit to come in before I start to dose it.  Zeovit is sold out at the moment.
