I always believed that there be many different levels of experiences for if we were too take a look at what each one of us do in tank equipments and stocking and feeding and not to mention maintenance, that we all not receive the same results as the next hobbyists.
It be the same as algae problems and any other number of things which could accure in who tanks. For like that B Ionic liquid, I used that at one time and found that I need to better stabilize my tanks and I used in the reservoir Calcium Hydroxide in mixing it in the RO/DI water. There are things which work and things that might work in time, but nevertheless, we need to maintain the stabilization of our tanks calcium and ALK levels.
B Ionic however is a good item for beginners or folks who are just starting a reef tank, myself these days I not use it anymore and it not mean that B Ionic isn't a good item to use in the stabilization of your tanks Calcium and alk levels.
For even that now when my reef tanks are fully running and that I use calcium reactors, I still dose with Calcium Hydroxide in mixing it in the RO/DI water but not each refill. It all depends on what my calcium reactors do in maintaining my tanks for I not want too over dose.
The salt as well have a place in this for the companies not honestly list all of what they obtain, for like I was using the Oceanic salt and before I bought another 24 (200 gals) buckets, I soon after learn that salt contained nitrates. That in a single water change of 30-32 gals I learn it had a reading of between 50 and 60 PPM, for I not test nitrates on my eel tanks as often for why should I.
But yet I do in a blue moon and all a sudden I had a nitrate reading of around 80 PPM and that it took me some six weeks if I remember correctly to lower it back to untraceable levels, for I changed back to Instant Ocean.
Something as that will be unbelievable as well too many because of their problem with nitrates, but do remember that we all have either near the same levels of knowledge in what we do or some too many have different methods in how they do things. For the main ticket in these twin eel tanks is that I not feed even half the food many others do as well as these tanks are under stocked as well.
If I not said it, the B Ionic is good in starting a reef tank, but if you have a larger tank, you might want to consider in getting a calcium reactor. But still you can manage with B Ionic, only you need to dose with a second item to help maintain your tank.
