Default What Type of Calcium-Iodine-Strontium to add?

I'm Currently use "Reef Pure" Calcium-Iodine-Strontium from Warner
Marine Research.

Anyone have better recomendations?

What is the best kind to use? I have heard alot about reef complete.

What are others using? Do I need to add more then
Calcium-Iodine-Strontium? I do also add plankton.
What About
Complete reef?

Other brands?

I only add Calcium & Alkalinity to my tank each day. For
years it was ESV's B-Ionic 2-part daily, but now I have a
Calcium Reactor and it does it around the clock.

No other supplements are dosed in my tanks.

Hi Richard,

It came with a LifeReef calcium reactor, which I run with a
Milwaukee pH controller. It never was difficult as the
controller does the job for me.

Normally when you add food to your tank like pallet and such, it contain
iodine. Add iodine only if you test for it and to see to determine if you
need to add it. In short, only add thing if you test for it.
