I am getting my list together to order from Marine Depot or Live Aquaria. Fish are not really my thing, my husband is in charge of the tanks (except for my son's), so he did not quarantine and used forbidden tap water. Now I am going to try and fix it. Our pH is OK, but could be better. I read in one of the threads to treat RO water with Kent RO Prep and Marc Wiess RO Vital and use Kent DKH buffer. I also have a nasty parasite problem running rampant in my hospital tank, so I will be ordering Formalin 3. I will also be grabbing beer from somewhere to take the edge off. What else? What else? What else? Any suggestions? I want to make my order worth it so that I am not ordering again in a week. I need a break.

I have boxes of chemicals! (Not for sale) What category are you shopping for? Meds, Reef suplements, I never new I was becoming a chemist when I started this hobby. Oh and by the way i used to just drink vodka before starting my reef now i drink long island iced teas!

Well, I talked to my lfs guy about what he uses in his personal tanks. He has a few in the store. I was expecting him to reach behind the counter and tart pulling off the $30 treatments. Then he said that he didn't mess with vitamin supplements and said that dkh buffers only worked well for corals. My husband has corals, so it might be good for him, my son doesn't, but his water quality is doing better with each water change.
