I am currently dosing SeaChem Fusion 1&2

My 110g is at 10.12 Alk 460 Cal 1330 Mg
My 210g is at 8.6) Alk 331 Cal 1408 Mg

Plan to increase dosage on 210g to get around the same as the 110g.

In another thread I mentioned that one of my 2 parts causes white build up at the end of the dosing tube. That author recommended changing products. So I’m reaching out to see what everyone uses and get feed back to see if a change is justified.

Things to consider:

1. Price and availability
2. Ease of use (ready to go vs mixing various products)
3. Stability trends
4. Anything else that you might find important that I have missed.

Thanks in advance.

And yes I’m adding reagents to trident today lol.

IMO, a DIY using calcium chloride, sodium (bicarbonate or carbonate or hydroxide) plus Tropic Marin Balling Part C is a great choice. A cheaper option uses my Part 3 instead of Balling Part C. It's not as good, but it costs less.

Other options include ESV B-ionic, and if there are other brands that you think trust, their two part.
