Alternative to ESV-Bionic?

[Milez803]

Hey guys,
I have about a month of ESV-Bionic left, and I plan to switch over to dry supplements for Calcium and ALK. Can anyone recommend a good brand. I was thinking about the Tropic Marin bio calcium original balling. But the supplements sound a bit confusing to mix. Feel free to recommend some new supplements. I'm currently using bubble magus doser on my 25 gallon cube with 10 gallon sump. SPS heavy tank. Thanks

Curious why? To save money?

I'm curious too why you would want to switch? ESV is awesome stuff. But if you had to I would recommend looking into a calcium reactor.

I just heard dry supplements is more cost efficient.

Look up bulk reef supply Ca and alk

For a 25g tank, i dont think you're going to save too much

Give ME Corals ALK and CA a try. More concentrated than Bionic (I've been told)

I'm trying it.

I have the brs ones, for ca, alk and mag. Good stuff

The ME KH is half the strength of ESV,went from 80ml to 200ml!!!now I now mix two bags of KH to one gallon

Esv is what I use and its the highest concentration of any mixed 2 part.

Yep. With BRS you will use a ton more.

I supplement with the TM balling method. Its super easy to mix, all you need is some 1 gallon jugs and you mix the required scoops(scooper included) with DI water. Shake well, and you can use from there. I believe most of the additives like BRS, B-ionic, Kent, etc. are all the same thing in different concentrations.

Why change? Esv is the good ****

:dance3: i had good success with esv. switch over to brs never the same.

Maybe i'll just stick with ESV, I'm using about 25 ML Alk and 20 ML of calcium daily. I recently had some MAG problem, but just got it back up to 1440. Just curious about dry supplements. Thanks for the inputs.

do you prefer esv over a CaRx or Kalk?

WTH seriously?? That's not good if that's the case. I'll have to confirm mine.
