Default Shlobster 2 part ?

Just looking for some reviews from anyone who is using or has tried j&l's shlobster calcium alkalinity and mag additives. Is the quality good? Does it dissolve well? Thanks

I'd be curious about their 2-part as well. I've been contemplating a switch from ESV B-ionic to Shlobster, but haven't heard of anyone on the forums using it.

I'll probably switch to it once I finish my BRS stuff. Unfortunately I just ordered a bunch of supplies from BRS and then the Schlobster stuff came in. I'll have to wait a few months.

I've always liked the BRS stuff more than the Bionic or even the Brightwell or the the TLF brand stuff. This is based on cost and what it actually puts in my tank.

Default Shlobster 2 part ?

I'm on my first batch of Schlobster since finishing off my BRS salts. So far I can see no difference, mixes easily and have not had to change dose amount, so thumbs up from me!
