Homemade two-part users

JLAURENCE32 · Mar 29, 2009

I've heard homemade two part isn't as concentrated as B-ionic. Can you homemade guys tell me how much of each your adding daily and your tank size? I just want to know if the homemade will run my B-ionic doser out too fast. The tub is pretty small.

i have found it to be just as potent as the bionic! If you mix it up and you find that its not strong enough you could just add a little more calcium chloride to the next batch. for the cost its a no brainer to me

What bulk products are you guys using to make the mix?

I know chem names but I mean what brand and for that matter where do you get it?

Any southerners?

After many 10+ years of using B-Ionic I've switched to the BRS two-part. I've been very satisfied with the results and the cost is a fraction.

How often are you testing?
Nice to see someone with a nice collection tossing the reactor. I haven't hooked mine up, but have it just in case. Doing 2 part right now and don't mind. I watch my tank like a hawk though too.
I just don't feel like dealing with dialing the reactor in and everything that goes along with it (ph, alk, ect.)
