I've had a bunch of these products around for years and would like to use it as a subsitute for B-Ionic 2 part. It's dry and though some of the superbuffer is a bit klumpy, I think it's still good.

Roughly, can someone tell me how much of these I need to add to a 48 oz container for a balanced 2 part?. I plan on dosing the same as I would B-Ionic.

thanks,
Albert

There's the recipe.

The Kent turbo calcium is anhydrous calcium chloride. Randy gives instructions in the recipe for what to do with that. I think it was 20% less, but don't quote me. Read the article. I know it says in there what to do with anhydrous.

Your guess is as good as mine on the super buffer. I don't know if that is all sodium carbonate, bicarbonate, or what is in it. If it were me, I'd drop the 2 dollars to get a box of Arm and Hammer from the grocery store and use that to make the alkalinity part.
