There will be some naysayers, but it's what I use for my sps tanks. I have tried to switch to lower cost options, but the reef fusion 2 part works the best for me.Does anyone have an opinion about using Reef Fusion Pt 1 & 2. Is it worth using or not.
I have a new 200g display and 75g sump.
I agree, it is not a 1:1 ratio. But for me, it's just a matter of adjusting the dosage on the Neptune DŌS. It may be more difficult to use initially if manually dosed.I have only one comment on it, but IMO, that comment calls into question their ability to design a proper 2 part product.
Despite their claims that it is designed for 1:1 dosing, it clearly is not properly designed for that:
Seachem Reef Fusion is not properly alk/calcium balanced for 1:1 dosing
A recent thread in the chemistry forum from someone who found that calcium increased with this product while maintaining alkalinity and using 1:1 dosing as advised by Seachem provoked me to check it's manufacturer specifications to see if it was a balanced additive.

Yeah that's true, if I could make a 2 part with the same concentration of alk, I'd use it. I tried using soda ash and my alk dropped too fast too quick, so I changed it back. My tank uses 1 dkh alk a day roughly.Certainly there's no problem dosing off of 1:1. My main concern is that they think it is 1:1, and so makes me wonder if they got other aspects of the formulation correct.
I thought it was a 1:1 ratio as they advertise:
"Most concentrated two part system; simple 1:1 ratio"
@Randy Holmes-Farley , is it possible to mix both sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate in ro water to achieve a concentration of alk at 4400 meq/L? I want to try to make a replacement for the reef fusion 2 at the same concentration and ph. Thanks.
Thank you! You got me thinking about this, and I think I'm going to start making my own 2 part. I just have a high alk demand system, so I only get a couple days to get it right before big alk swings take effect if I guess wrong. So I have always diverted back to the Seachem, because it's what I started with. But at around $40 a gallon, it does get pricey for what it actually is.You can use sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, or a little sodium bicarbonate plus sodium carbonate. A 1:1 mix of bicarbonate and carbonate may hit the solubility limit.
