We ran out of Triton calcium (jug #2), so we replaced it with ESV calcium. Going into it, we weren't sure of the potency differences for Ca, or the potency of the traces they contain.

Besides our own Ca tests, we've had ICP tests before and after the substitution.

Lo and behold they're pretty much the same in our 700 gal mixed system. We didn't even have to change the dosing ml amounts on our doser.

If anything, ESV maybe has a little more manganese trace in it, and perhaps a little less strontium.

Our trace element dosing regime is below. As you can see in the yellow highlighted rows, not much change.
