I love all the analysis you guys do. This makes things much easier for everyone to understand. Keep up the good work!

[@bradymoran343]

Can you re-do this with the new powdered all for reef?

[@angelnieves6087]

As always very informative and helpful. Keep up the great work guys. Your awesome! 👍🏼👊🏼

[@ajsreef1034]

Amazing episode guys yet again. Just the info i needed to know

[@shallowreefing]

PSA Tropic Marin Part C DOES NOT supplement trace elements. It simply keeps the part A and B balanced at an ionic level. The rep from Tropic Marin said this on a live stream with ReefDudes about 3 months after this video was made. I wish BRS would go back and put a disclaimer on these videos now.

[@christianreefing3117]

Made all that sound so simple! Not so intimated by dosing anymore. Thanks for making reefing easy guys!

[@calisky7342]

Thank you so much for doing this!

[@fuzzybunny96]

I’d like to see how much it costs to run a calcium reactor at these same levels!

[@JMA15357]

Great comparison video! Really informative!

[@Random.Thoughts21]

This is hobby is super expensive as it is. So knowing where you can save money and still get great result is very important.

[@carstenpoulsen5813]

Just love you guys. Always compare items. Hopefully begin supply europe soon

[@tsurro8086]

One of ur best videos to date!, cost is always a large factor, I dose around 135ml each of brs two part!!

[@alex100492]

Great video! Hope you guys start supplying in Europe sometime soon :D

[@deejayera]

Great video! I'd love it if you guys added Tropic Marin Part C as an option for Trace Elements under your dosing calculator. I'm guessing it would be pretty even with the amount of BRS liquid Soda Ash and Calcium Carbonate, but I'd love to know if I need to adjust due to differing concentrations between the BRS 2 part and TM Parts A & B.

[@michaeltalley1455]

Another great video. Would have liked to seen Kalk in there. Also a video of: At what point can Kalk not keep up?

[@andycx2]

Would be interesting to see where fauna marin balling light sits on that graph

[@ByronLumley2009]

Aquaforest bas a recipe for 1+2+3 so you can mix your own from powder and a liquid concentrate, makes it one of the cheapest products on this list a complete dosing solution.

[@Kanoa440]

I have been using BRS two part and Tropic Marin C but I think it’s interesting that on the contents listed on the bag of Tropic Marin C it only lists 3350 mg/l Mg and 980 mg/l K. So to me, it looks like Tropic Marin C just has magnesium and potassium. I think this has gotten overlooked because of how Tropic Marin represents this product. If trace elements are what you’re after then you should look elsewhere or at Tropic Marin’s trace K+ and A- elements.

[@terencefugazzi5164]

EXCELLENT video - great methodical approach and I liked the addition of the trace component cost as an add-on. One added question thought is what is the long term effects of using the formate versions of calcium additives like those from TM.
