Red Sea Alk/cal conversion to ESV bionic two part

[djf91]

Hello everyone,

I’ve decided to switch my 2 part dosing from Red Sea to Bionic. Does anybody know what the conversion might be for this that has done this before?

If not, I’ll just calculate roughly my consumption and test/ alter dosing daily until I find the sweet spot. But I figured I would try here first.

Thanks.

This calculator has both as options.

But you could just as easily fill in your alk consumption and select ESV and go from there.

Note that the ESV product will typically be dosed at close to 1:1 (and I'd start there based on alk requirements) while the Red Sea product is not designed for 1:1 dosing.

Ok, that should work. Thank you both.

Ok, I’m having a little trouble with the calculator. I’m already at my desired dkh level (~8). I’ve calculated that my tank consumes about 0.2 dkh a day of my 2 part solution. I also have kalkwasser dripping non-stop 24/7, so this 2 part is just in addition to that but this information isn’t really important. So I basically need to know the amount of bionic 2 part that equals 0.2 dkh?

Yes.
