is anyone familiar with this product?

if so other than calcium does this do the same thing as B-Ionic?
basicly my question is if i start dosing b-ionic do i stop using this product?
thanks.

I have never used it, but I couldn't find what is in it anywhere. As such, I wouldn't use it.

That being said, looking at it claimed properties, it doesn't claim to be adding any Ca or Alk, and as such it would not replace B-ionic.

I used it religiously when I first started my tank. Everything did well. Stopped using it lately. Everything still doing well. I still use it from time to time.

Even if you believe everything it claims, it does nothing for calcium or alkalinity. Absolutely not a replacement for B-Ionic.

Its just supplementation of the trace elements. Does nothing to calc and alk. Also has fish eggs and a few other addatives that they say helps promote fish color. Did some research into it when i first started my tank, and it was just to help dose daily small amounts of trace elements, with a bit of everything in it. It won't replace B-ionic or weekly doses of stront/iodine but supposed to help keep the levels more stable. Thats what i read. I stopped using it for a week and a half and my coral didn't look as good as it did when i was using it so i started adding it again.

tosiek is right. Its just supplementation of the trace elements. continue with b ionic.
