| i use baking soda for alk, but rely on water changes for the calcium, luckily im not using much so dont need to dose, its important to test regually if dosing i do, mag is important for stability as well, as for the baking soda i dont dose much very rarely only when needed which isnt every day thats for sure

| Dont know how much you are using but you can also buy the 2 part in 5 gal buckets. Cuts the price in half if you are buying it a gal at a time. I am currently using Brightwells Calcium P and their ALK supplement. I make my own 2 part mix from these and it is working really well. I am thinking this is running me 1/2 the cost of the ESV bionic in 5 gal buckets. I still have to get that Reactor set up!!!!! |
