- This weeks video is dedicated to ESV B-Ionic two parts(Ca/Alk) additives in which I explain how to use it on your reef. I further explain the difference of how others tend to apply it versus how I use it on my reef.
Very good info . This is literally the first time I’m hearing this advice. I’ve been doing water change after water change to even out my tank and all I ever get is calcium way above the range to be read and alkalinity at 9.24 dkh right after my water change . I also use Red Sea pro in the black bucket . I will add that alk drops significantly every day until my next water change. I change my water every 5 days due to this .
Hi Michael, when you have levels that are out if you do regular water changes using a good salt like the one you use and I it will correct the off set, but if afterwards your levels are off then either part A or B would correct it. Eddie
Interesting, Eddie. The only dosing I do at the moment is Tropic Marin All For Reef. I’m scared of causing any harmful swings in the tank! On a side note, I bought a pair of skunk clowns today, who immediately hosted my toadstool. So happy 😊
Great to hear that! Eddie
Great video Eddie! You are 100% correct on how to use the product!
Hi Nancy, thanks for your comments. Yep, even on the bottles it says to apply equal amounts. Eddie
@@EddiesReefAquaria i atarted using in equal amounts and after a month my calcium level was off the charts. Kept using 27ml of alk and none of calcium until it dropped to normal levels.
Thank you for the informative video. I’m glad I could dose only what I need and not equal parts as my ca was higher than the alk .
Very welcome. They don't say that, but you can only apply which part is needed. 👍
@@EddiesReefAquaria thank you for your prompt reply. Greatly appreciated.
Great video, I have been using this product for years and was also advised that you have to use equal dosage, great info will most definitely use this advice 😎
Thanks for your reply. Yes, when you read the bottles it informs you to apply equal amounts. Eddie
Thank god i came across this video.. my ca would of been super high if i would follow some of the plp viewing this product on yt. Thnk! Subbed
Happy to hear I was of help. Thanks for your Sub its appreciated.👍
Right on time! Subbed.
Thanks For the informative videos!!!!
You're welcome. Eddie
Will, this stuff increases PH
Hi @84latinray, to be honest it will not as per my testing. Eddie
Many thanks Ed I’m with you on this 👍Are you still using this product ?😀🏴
Presently, I haven had the need to use it though I check weekly or biweekly.
I usually adjust it to my levels, and then dose equally. And without correct magnesium, cal and alk don’t really get used by the coral correctly. They need mag to use cal and alk. Great videos!! 😊👍🏽
You're correct, some hobbyist don't know that if your mag is not at the proper level it will affect the other parameters including ph. Eddie
Does esv 2 part have magnesium
Hi 84latinray, Unfortunately no you would need to buy it separately. Eddie
What size tank and what kind of tank ..is on the background
Hi Dope, first thanks for contacting me. The tank you see on the background is a Nuvo 40 made by Innovative Marine. When it comes to my videos if interested I upload one on a weekly basis usually at the end of the week. Eddie
So if my alk is low and my calcium is fine, can I just dose alk?
Hi Westion, yes, I've had some arguments when it relates to this topic, but as I say and have said in the past in which it has happened to me. when you in your case your alk is low, but Ca is fine when you dose to bring up the alk what will happen is the calcium will go up above normal limits. Eddie
What time of day do you dose kh
Presently on he Fusion 40 I've had no need to dose, but when I do I usually dose during the AM after the lights have kicked in.
