I used it before I installed my calcium reactor, because my Nilsen drove my ph up to 8.6+, due to my calcium demands. I just used it to supplement the Nilsen. The benefit is that it is fairly neutral to PH, unlike the regular Bionic that will raise PH. The downside, is that it is necessarily...

Bob, it was no problem to balance at all. I was running a nilsen reactor, and it couldn't keep up with calcium demand without driving ph up to high, so I was using Bionic (the non ph-rising version). I installed a Lifereef Ca reactor, and ceased dosing the B-ionic. It took only a couple of...

I continued to run my Nilsen reactor after installing my calcium reactor. It allows me to minimize c02 usage, and to maintain a high ph. Also, I retain the benefit of precipitating phosphate. Mike
