Fauna Marin Trace Elements 1,2,&3 with BRS Two Part

[FireEMT]

I am using Fauna Marin's Trace Elements with BRS 2 part. I was wondering if others with experience with these two together could fill us in on ml of each trace per two part. According to BRS they say 6ml of trace 1 and 2 in the Alk mix and 20ml of trace 3 in Calcium. That just seems very conservative since Fauna Marin says to use 20ml of each in there two part. Any information would be helpful, thanks

I do 15ml of 1 and 2 and 30ml of trace 3. Been doing that ratio for years, found it on youtube somewhere and never changed it.

Have you guys found any improvments using FM elements?

Honestly I don't know. Reason being is that I bought it before it was available in the US. It could have been available, but I was unable to find it so I had it shipped from Canada. Since shipping was so high, I got the largest size available and have had it for at least 10 years.

Short story is that I have used it for so long I don't have anything to compare it to.

Maybe the Fauna two part is more concentrated so you are dosing less of it.

Good point. From the Balling Light pdf document
"Dissolve 2.0 kg of Fauna Marin calcium chloride dihydrate mixture into4 litres of osmosis water and then fill the canister with osmosis water.
Then add:
to the canister.
25 ml Ultra Trace B Color and Grow Elements (1) - strontium/barium complex
25 ml Ultra Trace B Metabolic Elements (2) - heavy metal complex"

I think that is a lot more than your 2 part recipe or the mix that BRS calls for

Is anyone using this system in their 3 part?
