+1 i used to use it but the ca and alk is soo high sometime when i do a water change it sent my ca and alk sky high i dont think u would want that

 

[anthony27]

ricky i agree with you, it would send them high up and then you are stuck testing and testing

 

[rickytsui]

now i just use I/O and add 2 part in it when i change my water once u know how much to add each time then u be good
