New to 2part, b ionic?

[Somethingfishy_]

Will this product help me raise& maintain my alk? My fritz salt mixes at 7.7dkh and I want it around 9. Also my calcium is 470. Or is there a better product? Reef fusion 1&2 and fritz 2part are what I’m also considering.

B-ionic is what I use but it is very concentrated compared to most other 2 part solutions. This is good if you want to use less and it supposedly has other beneficial elements but they do not disclose what it is. However, any 2 part will work for you.

I’m probably about to order it now, do I need to dose equal parts or can I just dose alk if my alk is low and Ca is a lil high?

You can just dose alk since the calcium is high. Depending on how many corals you have your calcium should drop. Check it again after a week of dosing alkalinity and if it hasn’t dropped try a new test kit. I use Salifert.

ESV B-Ionic is my favorite 2 part.
Not nearly as concentrated as Reef Fusion, but more concentrated that BRS.
I don't recommend Reef Fusion; it may elevate your potassium level higher than you want, even with normal use.
Dosing both components equally is generally recommended, but not necessarily required.

Also like the ESV product. I dose the 2 part along with their mag. Numbers stay solid once dialed in using dosers. Supposed to include other trace elements and be pure

I would dose equal parts unless and until you find that calcium is actually getting too high (550 ppm+). Calcium testing is not generally accurate enough to fine tune dosing except over long term trending.
