Confused, looking for help

[Bartman1818]

Alright, just a quick intro. I have a proposed 40 gallon reef tank in day 8 of cycling. Right now levels seem to be where they need to be. I fully understand the chemistry behind the Nitrates, Ite's, ammonia, pH, dKH, etc etc.

There are a few things I am just quite lost on, and I have been searching all day for answers but cannot find what I am looking for.

So for my specific tank set up, also listed below, what will I need to be doing as far as daily/weekly maintenance. I will be planning to house lots of coral, a clean up crew will be first and maybe 3 or 4 fish that I have in mind.

I am looking specifically at soft coral but the lighting I am looking to purchase in a couple weeks hopefully will not limit me to just soft.

So, basically the questions I have are below: If you can give me anything I would appreciate it. Just looking for some education before I indulge, plus thats all I have to do right now until I wait for this darn thing to cycle

1) What will I need to do for my specific set up in terms of dosing? I figure I will need to dose calcium and alk, but what is all this kalkwasser talk. When I asked someone, they said the best thing to do is use a pre-balanced additive such as this.

2) Will I need to add these products that say they have zooplankton and that other plankton?

3) What will my clean up crew eat, just algae?

4) What will the corals eat. I know they apparently can produce their own food but I read they will need to be fed occasionally.

5) What kind of food should I get for the fish, what do you use.

Basically I need some of your experience with a tank similar to mine. What do you do on a daily/weekly basis. If you could list your set up as well, it'd be great (specifically any type of reactors or anything of that sort that would be "extra")

Thanks for any info...
