Replacement for B-IOnic Calcium

[Andrew D]

Quick question. I've been using 2 part ESV B-Ionic for years and I'm quite happy with the results (if not the price). Unfortunately I seem to be using more calcium than alkalinity, and it's gotten so that I have a full bucket extra. This is an expensive hobby and money is kind of tight right now, so I thought I'd try to use the alkalinity part with an alternative source of calcium until things level out again. I know there are a lot of other trace elements in this stuff and I was wondering what would be the best calcium supplement to use?

Thanks in advance. Andrew

How often are you doing water changes? Water changes will mess with ratios and have you chasing your tail when using a balanced 2 part like b ionic.
Always add the same amount of each or you will end up in your situation chasing numbers and never getting the results you are seeking.
