Supplements

You don't give fish supplements so they get big and strong. Instead, fish need them just to survive. Just about every element known on earth is found in natural seawater, and living creatures depend on them. Problem is, the amount of these elements in your aquarium is finite, such as iodine, which allows corals to open fully, so you need to add supplements every three months or so.
