I plan to switch from ESV to ATI Essentials Pro and am wondering how the concentrations of these two products compare. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have not seen a calculator which has both.

I’m sure someone will ask why the switch. It’s because I feel ATI can better fine tune their trace elements using data from the ATI ICP testing that people have performed. Now this may just be a wild dream...but I hope that’s what they are doing.
 
Just by memory you would dose 1/3 less ESV product then anything else on the market. I can't find it now but @Randy Holmes-Farley had a article or a post awhile back talking about ESV being the most concentrated of the pre made 2-parts.
I dose ESV B-Ionic 2 part as well as their transition Elements and per my ATI ICP tests all I was ever low on was Iodine so I started dosing 2ml a week and ever since my ICP test come back good. And this tank has never had a water change.
 
ATI essentials Pro are higher concentrated then ESV B-Ionic

Using the undiluted essentials Pro (5x concentrated) this should be your ratio
Alk: 55% of the amount of B-Ionic
Ca: 66% of the amount of B-ionic
