    I have been dosing with b-ionic 2 part for the last 3 months.

    I really have be happy with it for the most part. The downside is that is kinda hard to remember to dose Ca everyday. And thats what my tank needed to maintain 400+ (ok every other day in the least;D)

    Anyway i was at Petco and they had some Red Sea success on clearance. I got 3 bottles for 9 bucks. Figured id give it a try.

    The instructions say to only dose once a week... I can remember that!

    Of course i am skeptical though.

    So i put the first dose in Friday tested on Saturday Ca and Alk : 550 and 11-12 Dkh respectively.

    Today they are 500 and 8-9DkH, so i dosed Alk. Ill see where that is tonight. But so far it seems as though Once a week might be a possibility. And i got like a 6 month supply of Ca for cheap....

    My ph is almost always 8.3 BTW. Mag has never been too far from 1450... I dont really test them too much anymore actually.

    Anyone else using this stuff? I have noticed almost an immediate difference in my SPS growth rates since using this over the B-Ionic...
