Just need a couple of clarifications before placing an order...
The B-Ionic 2 part seems like a quality product for keeping calcium/alk in check.
I haven't tested my water for either yet (tank still settling, doing 20 gal per week water changes). I'll of course test both before adding any supplements (Salifert test kits).
Should I find out that either my calcium or alk are somewhat imbalanced, can I use the corresponding buffer as a stand-alone to tweak them back into line, or do the 2 part systems require an equal dose of both?
I am not planning on adding anything else to the water. I'll keep up with frequent water changes to maintain other vital elements (magnesium, strontium etc). Is this a mistake?
TIA
