I'm a B-Ionic guy right now, thinking about bulk. Bulk reef supply has a really good selection and combo packs.

Bulk works for me. Check out littlesilvermax, pretty sure he is cheaper than BRS.

you should have success with either. Fauna claims to use pure salts. where with bulk there is a chance your getting some impurities. Many use bulk and are just as/better looking than fauna. If your on a budget use bulk if not give fauna a try, should be fine either way

I use Bens myself but have heard good reviews of BRS stuff also. And both are sponsors here. I remember another sponsor listing bulk supplies also but dont recall off hand.

Other than my Chemmaster supplies I use Seachem products for alkalinity and calcium.

Years back I used both TLF 2-part and B-Ionic 2 part, both with great success. Could get expensive if used for a high demand large tank I imagine. My 70g soft coral tank used 30ml of each per day. Kept alk. @ 9dkh and calcium around 420ppm.

In my current 30g sps tank, I use kalk as the main additive, dripped daily. Plus I add calcium and magnesium to my IO salt mix for water changes, following Ben,s suggested mix.

We stock bulk and all of it is just as pure and cost effective as the others that deal in bulk chemicals, all of us are pretty much the same price and purity.

O.C.
