rule #1, if you cant test for it, dont suppliment. im a firm believer in water changes to add most of what the tank needs.
ok,thank you here are a few questions which may seem kinda dumb, but what is SPS? also when doing a water change you dont add any more salt right? or do you? No one informed us on that either. And how much water do you change at a time? we have a 55 gallon tank. I wish we had a better pet store here. We dont really live in a very big city. So there really is only 2 saltwater pet stores here the rest are in tampa.

Thanks for your help
