Still Reefs
I have used B-Ionic for about two years and found it worked great if I did not add other additives. When I drip kalk and B-Ionic my alk drops from 3.6 to 2.8. Through the board and much reading I found out that too much calcium will do this. If your alk is low I would try the following.Use 1ml for every 2 gallons of water everyday of part one, check the alk about 6 hrs later. Continue this until your alk comes up. I currently use a formula of 1 ml for every 2 gallons of water parts 1 and 2 daily and have had the best success growing thick coralline algae in three reefs. It is expensive but when I have tried to mix other additives I have problems.(I am sure it is me). One last thing, a fellow member mentioned that it has a tendency to raise salinity when used in large volumes. Well it does, so go easy
Good Luck
