What 2 part doses are you using

[nathan1986]

Just curious what people in the area are using for a 2 part dose. Pretty sure im at a stage to where im going to have to start monitoring ca-alk-mg. Havent tested my water peramaters since either of my tanks were set up. However im pretty sure all my corals will benefit by making sure i keep the big 3 parameters up to par. Thanks in advance, nathan

I'm using Bionic

Pretty straight forward as far as using it im guessing? Was just curious if there was a specific brand that is being used more than others

I started with seachem reef fusion and had amazing growth for almost half dose of esv bionic but cost was almost 3 times. I switched to esv bionic about 4 years ago. Great part is I order in bulk and it last me 4 months.

Ordering it in bulk and only lasted 4 months? Lol bi-onic seems to be popular

BRS two part. It is really 3 part but they call it 2 part. I guess because you dose Calc and Alk every day and the mag is only every month or so.. They have videos to show you how to dose it.

I used to use B ionic in the past and had very good results with it as well.
As long as you are doing regular water changes, the minors should be up to snuff using a homemade 2 part though, and it is much more economical.

I use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) as a source of sodium carbonate. Just bake it to drive off water and some CO2. I also buy my calcium chloride and Magnesium chloride off of amazon. Several sources on there. Never could get used to the idea of Peladow, or other ice removers (CaCl2) in my tank although I know that many do use it successfully.

Many different ways to skin this proverbial cat.
