Why would you want to add supplements and calcium to your tank? Is your tank lacking in calcium?

I don't know about vitC but Jamieson doesn't look like a brand for aquarium supplements.

Don't get fooled by all those "add and see your coral bloom" adds by supplements. Only dose if you tank requires it

For a 10 gallon, you can pretty much do weekly WC and have great results unless you stuff like 30 hungry corals which sucks up all the goodies from the water before you do WC.

And yah, do mention what sort of corals you got along with the big three numbers and lighting.

Agreed 100%

For a nano this side just do regular WC's.
If your levels are decreasing still do larger WC's.

There is a lot more in salt than just ca, alk, mg that is replaced by wc's!
