Hi all,
I am looking for info on some of the differnt Alk/Calc addatives that are available. I currently have a 400G tank/550 G system of a mixed reef. I do about 140 G water changes every three weeks or so using a comerical ASW mix. I was using NSW but have currently lost my source of water.
I have been using SeaChem Reef advantage calicum and Reef builder for yeasr with good results. However, after looking at my latest product catalog, ther are other brands/products that are offered at a substantuly lesser cost. So I'm looking for experience with these brands to see is it worth the switch.
Here is a break down of lowest price to highest price. Of course the one i Use is the most expensive. This is all based on the ammount needed to support 15K gallons.
C-Balance A and B two part additive $30.
Tech CB A and B two part addative $40
Reef Code A & B two part addative $50
Sea Chem Reef Advantage Calicum and Reef Builder. $60
If there are other comerical addatives that you know of and think highly of them, please let me know. I'm not looking for any home made kits, just a easily obtainable comercial system Just looking at ways of lowering my operating cost and keeping my tank healthy. Thanks for you inputs.
