Anyone using B-ionic sea water system

[jcs11236]

How do you like it? Would you recomend it.. i was thinking of using this instead of my nutri sea water.. Getting a lil expensive buying the sea water..

i have been using it. i mix about 15 gallons at a time.
sitting with pump for 24 hours in rubbermaid
1.025---refractometer 79 degrees
11.2dkh ---salifert
mag 1320---salifert
calcium 460---salifert
phosphate 0---hanna meter(the expensive one lol)
nitrate/nitrite 0---salifert

IMO this system is perfect for nano aquariums because the levels mix high enough where you wont have to go crazy dosing.

If you have an aquarium with a calcium reactor it can become a problem because the levels can go TOO high after water changes

Are you sure your not supposed to let it sit for 24 hours?

there is no need to let it sit for 24 hour. It mixes very well
and very clear in minutes. It comes in two dry parts and two
liquid parts

I don't let my water mix for 24 hours just so its clear. Its so my dissolved oxygen levels to come up, ph to stabilize, make sure salinity and temp are correct...

dont have a ro/di.. Now im wondering if mixing the esv salt with my distilled water would cause alage/phos? i currently use the premade nutri sea water and top off with distilled. no algae problems

invest in a RODI if your looking to save money this will help in the long run
