2 part dosing

I dose B-Ionic 2 Part and have been for nearly a year, yesterday I only dosed part 1 and forgot to dose part 2. Does that mean I double up on calcium today? Do I just dose my regular schedule? Does this cause an imbalance in the system by missing part 2 one time?

Hey everyone, Is it possible to dose alk and cal once a week say at the end of the week instead of 10% water changes once a week?

Hey guys quick question, I tested my tank alk and cal for 5 days to see the consumption over that time period. And I really only saw a swing of .6 dkh at the most. I’m thinking of dosing B Ionic 2 part to keep it stable. My tank is a 90 gallon softie dominated system and I feel like the bi...

Hey R2R members, I'm going to be buying and setting up a dosing pump soon and was wondering something. When I run the tubing into dosing container/ 2 part bottle etc. won't the bottom of the bottle have all the condensed elements? As in, on the bottle it says shake before use, but if it's...

Hi All, I just received my first ICP test results and wanted opinions. My alk is low. I'm already dosing BRS 2 part, so I'll have to adjust my alk dosing. Here's a link to my results: //lab.atiaquaristik.com/share/936658fd2cf8e25f178f I also attached a pdf if that's more convenient. What would...
