Two-part dosing

Also called: 2-part · B-ionic

Two-part is a matched pair of liquid supplements — one calcium, one alkalinity — dosed together to keep both in balance as corals consume them.

It's the most common and beginner-friendly way to dose a growing reef: test, then add each part to hold your targets steady. Keep magnesium in range too, or the two-part won't "hold."
