I am assuming you have power compacts? 50/50 bulb? You might not have enough light for some of those, someone else will chime in im sure. Also i just started a nano myself, i have a reef already and wanted to try a smaller version and i picked up the mexican redlegs instead of he blue legs this time. My blue legs in my main tank are super agressive and destroy my snail population. might want to give that a try

my tank has been running for 6 months, corals loks okay, growing too

Watch your calcium. If the stony(true) corals start to grow they will be removing calcium from the water at a notable rate.

If else else is working well enjoy the sweetspot while you have it

whats the lvl of calcium i should have?

I would add more pumps to your tank. I have a 29G Oceanic Biocube and have two Koralia pumps in mine - a 1 and a 2 - and still have some cyano issues due to not enough water movement. I found that a nano did not give any circulation at all when you have a good 30lbs of LR in the tank and lots of corals.

whats the lvl of calcium i should have?

around 400 ppm

What do you mean by additives?

You will likely need one or all of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium depending on the salt you chose, how often you do water changes, and what you keep in the tank.

Personally, I went with a Two Part Kit from http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/Two-Part-Kits/c52/index.html and am loving it.  It allows me to seperatly maintain calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium for a very reasonable cost.  They provide a calculator which I found very useful for helping me top up.  If I know my tank volume and what my current reading is, I can figure out, almost, exactly how much solution to add to bring it back up to where I want it.  I have been maintaining a spreadsheet so I can track my depletion, and top ups, over time.
