Thinking about switching from ESV 2 part to BRS pharma. With ESV being hard to find lately I keep finding my self running low and struggling to find it. I currently use a dos and trident controlled dosing. I'm trying to decide if I should switch to the 2 part only or buy another dos and do the hybrid balling method. I have about 100g tank that is just reaching a year old. I dose around 30ml of Esv daily, I'm not sure if that would translate to the same of the BRS 2 part, I also just started the KZ 4 part color kit. If I do switch do I use soda ash or bi-carb? My pH is around 8.1 at night and 8.3 during the day. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks.

You will need 3 dosing heads if you switch away from B Ionic and still want a balanced two part meaning the extra nacl thrown off by the 2 part is ionically balanced making it like a small water change. If your tank is doing well I would only change if you cannot find ESV literally anywhere.

Everything has been doing fine on the ESV but I cant find it any where right now unfortunately and I'm starting to get pretty low.
