|  B-Ionic by ESV. Any good?
The guy at the fish store recommended this to bring up my calcium and maintain alkalinity. I'm just starting out w/ corals so i really don't know if this stuff is any good. If anyone knows anything about this product or something that would work better I'd appreciate your input. Thanks, nunch. |

Kind of off subject but not off subject, for one of your first corals I'd highly recommend something like pulsing (pom pom) xenia, they'll tell you if your water parameters got thrown off in a hurry but their like a stubborn weed you'd have to try to intentionally kill them | |
