    Can someone give me a good comparison on ESV's B-ionic and Two little fishies C-balance? It seems the B-ionic is cheaper. So I'm thinking about switching over to it from the C-balance.

    I have not used the c-balance before but what you need to look at it what the c-balance contains as they are in no way the same ingredients.

    If you are looking for a 2 parter cal alk additive then I would use CalxMax as it uses the highest grade of materials available and I can say that the other don't equal when compared to CalxMax.

    B-Ionic instructions say to add it every day. CalxMax says to add every other day.
    The price of B-Ionic is cheaper then CalxMax but when you add up how many time you dose with b-ionic compared to Calmax they equal out or you could say you use less CalxMax in the same time span.

    CalxMax by Warner Marine is king of the 2 part additives.

    B-ionic has always been my stanby! I think the Kent and TLF are lower quality. No experiance with the warner stuff though.

    I think I'm going to go with the ESV.
