Ya kinda, So I would add the additives only when I do a water change, or when I add my 5 gallon top off every other day...Sorry I am stupid when it comes to this ****.

No worries, I didn't know crap about additive's and such, but have leared a lot quickly.

Well it all depends on what your tank levels are, if they are low you should add with top ups for sure. But if they are ok then you should not have to add with every top up. I check my parameters weekly and adjust if need be.

For test kits I use API for everything except Mg I use Elos.

No problem, I try to remember everything some of the big dogs here have taught me and pass it on.

Glad to here it is good thing's your are hearing about me, if it was bad things I might have to hunt someone down and ............well you get the point, lol

The new tank build is going OK but it would be better if I could sell the 155 BF so I could finish this one. My light's should be in tomorrow I hope as long as USP does not get lost.
