ESV Potency in contrast to BRS 2-Part (1 Viewer)

[Reefahholic]

So for anybody that’s ever wondered... I found out a very close percentage.

Randy’s DIY recipe #1 (BRS uses this) is 1,900 meq/L of alkalinity (5,300 dKH).

ESV says the ALK part of normal B-ionic is 2800 meq/liter (7840 dKH).

Thus ESV is 47-48% more concentrated and you use 68% as much.


I’ll let you guys know how the adjusted dose works out soon. Hopefully a smooth transition.

Having used both, it's very easy to see that the ESV is much more concentrated. Glad you put an exact number to it.
