ESV BIONIC seawater system salt

[acesq]

this posts been around for a bit but i was wondering for the guys and gals that have been using this product for a year or two how is it going with it

i am doing a sps only DT and am looking for the best salt mix out thier and i think this is it

I've been using it for over two years. No complaints at all. I have used the same 37 gal. mixing bucket from the start and it is as clean as new. I particularly like the ability to adjust the alk down to the low 8's by using less liquid component B

We've been using it for coming up on 2 years now & our tank is thriving, however we're not keeping SPS.

Love it. Been using it for nearly 3 years with great success. As stated by acesq, simply use less of liquid part B for reduced alk. I've had to do this because I run biopellets and it's worked for me pretty well.

Thanks I've been doing some searches to try to figure what each component was so I could tweak the alkalinity. I'll have to try this for the next batch that I make.

I made up 20 gallons yesterday. Used 11ml of Component B instead of the 12.8 called for in the recipe. Alk came out to 8.1.

So are people still using this salt?

Yes I love it!

How long now?

I've been using it since 2010. Great salt.

I have been using it for 3 years now. I have no reason to want to use anything else

Are there any other elements in component B? If I try to use less of it to achieve a lower ALK am I lowering other trace elements that I need?

Any ESV company people have input?

 

[acesq]

I don't know the answer to your question, but I never had an issue reducing the component B.

I read in a thread that someone contacted esv about this and they said that u would def be altering the trace element ratio by under dosing component B
