Results or reviews on this product? I love the bio a salt and have read great reviews on the bio ca but looking for peeps that have used this product.
 
I've never personally used it, but I considered it. It has a calcium gluconate base, with additional trace elements. The gluconate(carbohydrate) is what essentially provides the energy. The calcium doesn't contribute to photosynthesis, and if it did, the gluconate would have to oxidize and break back down into C, O, and H.Glucose is an end result of synthesis, so I'd say this calcium would skip steps, if anything. But will not provide carbon dioxide in its common form.


I think a calcium reactor would be better
 
I am using a two part system in a addition to the bio ca. I do bi weekly water changes. Just would be using it for a boost. Never really liked my ca reactor (sold it). I have controlable dosing pumps for mg ca and alk.
 
The two part is probably calcium chloride. Adding the bio calcium will just diversify the type of calcium supplemented. It will also provide energy for the corsls

Edit: Just keep an eye out for any imbalances. Two part is designed to supplement ionic balanced calc and alk.
