I've been out of the hobby for several years and im still trying to catch up. I wondering what is everyone using for 2 part now days? Back when i had a system B Ionic was the go to with BRS just entering the scene. Now im seeing both of them along with Red Sea,Aquaforest,Brightwell to name a few. My instinct was to go with B Ionic since i used it successfully in the past but figured i would ask and see if there were better options now. The tank is a 120 with probably 15-20 in the sump. Nothing in the tank yet as its still cycling. I just want to be prepared for when i do start adding things.
What 2 part to use?

There are so many options. BRS 2 part is what I'm using and I love it. B iconic is good to. Otherwise there is Randy's 2 part DIY where you basically make your own 2 part.
I also use BRS 2 part. Very economical and has been reliable for me. I've gotten lazy lately and bought the premeasured packages but will go back to the bulk soon.

I have been using ATI Essentials and have been loving it. Before that it was Reef Fusion.
Lots of great options out there. I'm trying ATI as I want to minimize water changes and handle trace element dosing as it is included.

ESV B-ionic has worked great for me the 5 years I've used it and is the only one that has trace elements built in. ICP test results on a tank with never having a water change in over 5 years and nothing but ESV B-ionic 2 part dosing is all the proof I need to stay with it.
