SeaChem Phosguard? If its seachem brand it works fine. Just make sure you rinse it very well. And then rinse it some more. I use it when needed but only keep it in my tank for 4-5 days. No ill affects to any corals.

You really don't need any of those when it boils down to it. Some people have a blue finger, some don't.
