Where ever I can get one, pricing will be the same everywhere. I will probally go harass Harvey

Yep it should be, we do our best to keep pricing stability so the end user does not have to waste hours trying to find deals.

Just an Fyi the 5L BM containers flew out and are now on back order however anyone ordering a 5L can use temporarily other containers and we will ship once they come in.

I am getting air freighted a batch of 5L to see us through.

2.5L are in stock.

With mixing on the 5 l kit would it be 2 boxes of A or 1 box ? Or does 1 box of A make a lot. Sorry for all the questions.

one box of each makes 5L of mineral so if you are opting for the 2.5L container you just use 500g of each of the 1kg box.

A - Alkalinity
B - Calcium
C - NACL + elements including Magnesium.

Due to the high mineral content of Tropic Marin Balling in my personal experience used less than any of the attempted copies I have tried, so it works out cheaper in use also.

I am currently dosing BRS cal, alk at about 300ml a day. If I were to change to the balling system would the rates stay the same? Currently running 150g main 70g sump mixed reef leaning towards sps.

100% impossible to determine, every tank needs are different. however this system is not about how little it will use but instead doing balling (or 3 part) correctly.

BRS adds none of the elements that are associated with real 3 part dosing and it also adds sodium chloride to the tank, furthermore inexpensive mineral mixes are inexpensive for a reason.

You just can not judge the two systems together. These systems at best do the bare minimum to your tank that balling (or true 3 part) should be doing, at worst creating ionic imbalances.
