    just looking for some general info, if you use it, please give me your experiences with it, the good the bad.

    just ran out of my kent supps. so i bought this stuff to try for a lil. till i get the money to set up some dosing equipment.

    i use it, good product never had a bad experience with it at least, just follow the directions on the bottles and make sure to check your alk and calc before dosing

    yeah im going way less than the directions. ive been using kent brand for the past 6 months. and with water changes i never had to dose more than once twice a week, i got a fair amount of good size stonys too.

    the directions for the b-ionic say 1ml for every 4 gal, of each every day . and 1 ml per gal raises 16 ppm calcium. and 2.07 dkh.

    i would imagine things could get out of hand fast. if your mag is high enough.
    ( i know mine is)

    damn now i got to start testing again:-/, i have not had to test in months was always right on if i followed my normal routine.
