Should I use this Calcium?

[JCOLE]

I am switching out my CARX and Kalk for 2 part. I set up my DOS and reservoirs. I am using Seachem Reef Fusion 1&2 since this is what I have used before. I had 2 4L jugs in storage that I plan on using.

I poured the jugs in and the calcium appears to be this brownish color. I dont remember it being this color. Is it safe to use or should I just get a new one?

I vote use it.
My diy calcium comes out brown tinted too.

I’d probably use it too.

Note that despite the claim, Seachem reef fusion is not properly designed for 1:1 dosing. It has an excess amount of calcium.

Well, that isn't good. I know you probably cannot endorse a product but do you recommend a 2-part that isn't DIY?

B-ionic. Im sure randy agrees.

ESV B-ionic is a good choice. The Seachem reef fusion may be perfectly good, but it is strange that they designed it they way they did.

I noticed that. I do like the added elements, etc. I currently dont have it setup up for 1:1. I plugged in a lower than normal dosing schedule for my DOS. Will check levels with Trident and up or lower ALK/CAL as needed.
