I wouldnt add chemicals unless you know what they do, not trying to be offensive. Pretty much dont add any product unless you understand the product i guess is what i'm trying to say. Buffer affect alk directly. Dont worry about your pH, there is so much concern over pH in this hobby. If your pH is something like 7.8 in the morning and 8 or 8.1 just after the lights go out, its fine. There are a lot of products out there that people will try to sell you on, about 90% you wont need, and of the remaining 10%, if depends on the type of aquarium you plan on keeping, fish only or reef, and if its a reef, is it soft corals, LPS or SPS. If its softies then for a large majority of them dont worry about Ca, Alk, and Mg.

 no matter what kind of corals you have water conditions should be as good as you can get them. I agree you don't need a lot of different crap and I said you PH was fine, but Mg is low, and it will continue to drop and you will eventualy have a Ca crash because of it. Salts are natorious for haveing to low of a Mg level as it is a way they can save money. the only thing I would do now is raise you Mg and see what the rest of the things do. Steve
