heron Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 C-balance is a calcium, trace and buffer supplement made by twolittlefishes. It is a two part additive. Has anyone out there used it before? If so, does it actually do what it says it does? Many thanks:) Link to comment
onthefly Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Works just like Bionic......Part A is a Calcium soln, PartB is a Alk. soln. Link to comment
heron Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi Onthefly, did the supps work well for your tank? Link to comment
SeanB Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I've heard good things about Ocean's Blend 2 part Calcium/Buffer product. PA has just started carrying their products. http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/m...Code=Oceanblend Link to comment
onthefly Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Well, It could not keep up with the SPS demand in the beginning (started with 10mL, then 15mL, then 20mL), but I suspect it's a "new tank syndrome" kind of a thing. Over then past 2 weeks, I've backed off to 15mL each, plus a kalk drip at night and things are rock solid. Most of the 2 part additives are basically the same thing, but another thing that was attractive about C-balance was the gallon size comes as a concentrate, and you add RO/DI water to it. That saves about $20 in added shipping wieght. Link to comment
bobioden Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I have never tried the 2little fishes version of the 2 part additives. I have used the Oceans's Blend and highly recommend it, if you can find it. My LFS stopped selling it, so had to switch back to B-Ionic. Most of the 2little fishes products have not been well received. Bob Link to comment
onthefly Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I agreee Bob, but I think thats more directed toward additives like marine snow et al. where they don't say whats in it (ala Marc Wiess), just that it's better than sliced bread:) C-balance tells you on the bottles the exact "ionic" components (not the ratios of course).

Reef_Mad_Man Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I agree with the twolittlefishes coment. I am also a hard core B-Ionic fan. Will never switch. Been using it since day one of its release in my area. Coraline grows of the charts, sps love it, lps love it, macro algae loves it. Cant say enough goo dthings about it. IT IS a hassle at 1st to find your proper dosage mind you , but once you have it your set for life. Link to comment
nique6996 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I use the Two Little Fishies C-Balance...like it just fine. Dose 1 capfull of both bottles to my 12g nano every Tuesday. Keeps Ca just right. Haven't tried any other products, but might give the B-Ionic a try with my C-Balance runs out. Just to have some comparisons. Link to comment
