Salifert All in One Organic Calcium
Salifert claims this is a one-part calcium/buffer system. Anyone
using this stuff? Their product description claims: .. This Supplement is highly concentrated and contains for example approx. 55,000 ppm calcium, corresponding amounts of biologically- activated bicarbonate and approx. 1000 ppm strontium. The calcium is acetate based and is converted within minutes to calcium bicarbonate. This is unlike gluconate-based products. So are they saying that B Ionic and the like are gluconate-based? It sounds a little fishy to me, but dang, it would be nice to have a one- part system for the non-chemists/lazy aquarists out there. Thanks Ryan Lenz

Most calcium additives are chloride based. I don't
like the idea of using acetate. Wayne Sallee Wayne's Pets wrote on 3/1/2007 2:42 PM: Salifert claims this is a one-part calcium/buffer system. Anyone using this stuff?
