Are you asking about the chemical components or what in general how are they different?
Basically they attempt to do the same thing, maintain the alk level in your tank. Kalwasser is only Calcium Hydroxide you can drip into your tank to maintain Alk levels established before.
Does this help or am i rambling agian?

IMO = In My Opinion
I use B-Ionic b/c I don't dose Kalkwasser and my tank inhabitants depreciate the calcium and alk levels in my tank.
B-Ionic is a two part additive, Calcium and Alkalinity. You add to your tank what your coral inhabitants take from your water.
Kalkwasser normally is dripped into tanks, usually in some kind of top-off system, to stabalize Alkalinity levels, and maintain pH.

So Kalkwasser doesn't have selenium(sp?) or other additives to help reef systems. I have a 125 and I'm not happy with the coral growth....I do real saltwater changes monthly, 30% or so and add kalkwasser and buffer.
I do not add anything additional minerals/trace elements..
Should I be and what product do you recommend using that would be a one stop shop supplement that would take care of everything...
Thanks a bunch

True, true :joy:

Thank you Laddy, I'm upset because my lobophyllia is dying and I want to help it. I spent 2 hours trying to feed it tonight, tried everything, mouths weren't opening.
My water changes are very regular, I had a nitrite spike for a week a month or so back, I guess that was it.
Thanks again
