    Well not defending the two part or a LFS but I was going to order a gallon of Cal -Mag and Alk from some place Because the amount I need I cannot afford to buy from my LFS and I canceled the order to buy this because I got 7 times the product for almost exactly the same money. Thats what we have test kits for. I spend enough money at the LFS that a few chemicals I buy some where else will not put him out of business.

    If you have not been dosing before, you will see some amazing improvements in your reef.

    I too have been using the BRS 2 part dosing for about 4 months now and it does exactly what I want it to without being overly expensive.

    All in all - a good buy - hard to beat.

    i use it and its pretty darn good. i paid the same for a gallon of alk, Ca and MG of BRS then i did previously for 500 g of Seachem Ca and Alk. great deal, mixes well and the calculator is darn precise! just never over dose alk....very scarry.
