Calcium is absolutely essential in the marine environment. Corals build there skeletons using calcium and invertebrates use it to reinforce their carapace.

Buffers are important to increase your aquariums ability to handle acid production. The breakdown of excess food and fish waste leads to a build up of acid that must be counteracted. More important than the brand you buy is the fact that you actually ensure these values are solid!
