    When I bought my aquarium about a year ago now there was some Kent Marine 'Osmo-Prep Marine' in the box o'stuff.  Something I should just toss or something good to use?  I read what the bottle says and it sounds good but just about everything you can add to your aquarium sounds good on the bottle.  Any help would be great!

    I used to use it, I actually forgot all about it. I don't think it makes a difference, just make sure you dont use too much.

    That is kind of what I figured you only use a tiny amount per 10 gallons of water, not to sure that I will use it.

    A good salt mix (i.e. Reef Crystals) puts in everything you will need. In general we don't recommend putting anything into your tank you don't measure.

    Pretty much the only thing you might need to add is Magnesium, I use Reef Crystals and it has always been low in Magnesium for me.
