Additives Costs for my 180g Living Room Reef Tank

I'm not a big fan of dumping the latest chemicals into my tank. Plain and simple, most items sold to reef keepers I find are just not needed. I don't expect this page to get very long. For lack of a better spot, I placed salt used for water changes and food in this list (shipping costs of these items are not tracked)
