Who makes their own two part ? and which one?
Well my tank crashed from a little neglect and the past heat wave. Lost tons of sps but luckly saved a bunch thanks to my buddy brandon. Since I'm kinda "starting" over I want to try a different two part method other than just esv and brs. I was contemplating a break down but just can bear to quit ( im bipolar reefer). I have already made Randy two part alk solution and think that I might just get some Dowflakes and do that, but I just heard about the balling method, which looks like a nice method also! any advise on your method of diy two part is appreciated. What do you prefer and have you had any adverse affects from any diy two part solutions? Going to try to bring back my saved sps once system is stable with new two part method and the heat waves are done. Thanks in advance
