Most Vendors are out of stock on 2 part dosing supplements?

[blue.flyzz]

I'm assuming that due to COVID manufacturers are not supplying 2 part dosing to our vendors as most of them are out of stock. I've been dosing ESV B-Ionic for 4 years, I'm very happy with it, but I'm running low on my stock. Major vendors are out of stock, is it safe to switch to a different brand until the shortage is over? I test my Alk and CA weekly, but will switching out to a different brand have a major effect on my levels or are all 2-part dosing products basically the same? I was looking to get ME or Fritz as most vendors have them available.....thanks.

I had the same problem. I bought the raw materials for Randy's DIY 2 part on amazon and mixed it up myself. Wasn't hard at all, plus its cheaper. I think I might do this indefinitely.

Yes, same here. Did manage to pick up 3 1-gallon pairs of B-Ionic at Marine&Reef a week ago.
Not available at my usual spots, BRS and MarineDepot.
FYI - The B-Ionic that Marine&Reef shipped me is very old, from before they changed the labelling slightly.
Date on the bottles is 2018.
Not that this should make any difference, for this particular product.
