I have a question, it is painfully obvious that you're very good at keeping/growing corals in a 10 gallon tank. So if I'm planning on a 10 gallon tank with a few soft corals (probably mushrooms zooanthids etc), would you suggest additives for the corals? Such as the iodide, magnesium, calcium, alkinlinity, buffers, etc...FYI we're using this salt:

Its Oceanic Natural Sea Salt Mix...which is supposed to have a buffer and calcium already in it from what I've heard.
Also, would it be necessary to add food (like phytoplankton)?

I'd also like to know this as well

I am not an expert or anything. In my own opinion, only frequent water change and sufficient light would be more than enough for softies. I have never added any additives for the corals in this tank. All I am doing is weekly water change.

I know it is hard to believe for someone because they dose a lot. I am not saying my method is the right way to follow but it is work fine for me. My corals may not grow as fast as others' but I am happy about it as long as they are healthy.

To answer bassplaya12, It is green bubble coral.
It is not in the tank anymore because it was way too big. I had to move it to new home.

the green stripe shrooms are so annoying so I remove almost all of them out of the tank.
The ones left in the tank are on the spot I could not access. HAHA
