Default Dosing 2 Part

I'm looking at dosing using one of the following 2 part products

TLF C-Balance
Shlobster
Reefsupplies
BRS

From my understanding, the TLF C-Balance is super easy to use but expensive.

Any suggestions on the any of the above 2 part bulk products?

Thanks in advance!

I use tlf two part and I love it. It might be costly in the long run but you get what you pay for in this hobby

The only product listed that I use is the BRS stuff. Been using it for a couple of years now and it gets the job done. Shipping isn't cheap though, but if you can afford it buy as much as your wallet can handle. Or better yet, buy the 5g pales with a friend or four.

I have used the BRS stuff for just over a year I think and it seems to do the trick.

I know you're a little further from that border than I, but I have ordered a tonne of stuff from BRS in the past and have it shipped to a place in the states ( I can give you the address if you like) and then i just drive down there and pick it up.

Not a great idea at the moment as the exchange rate is so poor but worth considering.

I dosed brs 2 part for a while and it's good but I go through too much to keep buying it out of the states so I switched to bulk, I can buy 50 lbs of calcium chloride for about 40 bux, the same for mag chloride and I can usually find soda ash in town.

I used the TLF and it's good but expensive< I bought some Shlobster packages on boxing day, apparently it's pretty good, I guess I'll find out, when I replace my bottles.

Seems like people are using primarily Formula C or the BRS 2 part.

Anyone familiar with the 2 part bulk from reefsupplies.ca?
