  1. General Reef Discussion
    So to my understanding, dosing b-ionic is to maintain levels and not raise them? I dose 15 ca and 8 alk and my levels always fluctuate. I try to keep my calcium at 450 but it's always at 410 because my saltwater is at 420 and then my animals are using whatever's left. Alk is stable but calcium...

    so i have a 29 gallon biocube. i have no calcium reactor, and all my chems come from the two B-Ionic bottles I have. I really want to get a chalice since i found out that they don't need halides. would i need to buy just the calcium supplement to put in the water in addition to the B-Ionic?
