Currently I am hand dosing, doing 2 oz of Alk & 2 oz of Calcium at 7am, and 7pm, respectively. This is keeping my alk between 7.5-9.0, and my Calcium between 410-420.

In the future, I will probably be getting a doser, to deal with this but am content to hand dose, right now. But, as I'm sure all of you are aware, it's not cheap.

I'm still paying for my setup (gotta love that 0% interest rate), and really don't have the cash to spring for a Calcium Reactor (nor, honestly, really the need) right now, so right now I'm using ESV to dose. After getting my system established, however, I'm basically going through a package of ESV in 8 days.

I was looking at the BRS stuff, but noticed that the cost savings might be depleted because you're using more product as it seems less concentrated, than the ESV or other products that are manufactured.

Wondering if someone's done a cost analysis on any of this, and has any recommendations or suggestions. I know that you really do 'get what you pay for', most of the time, but that doesn't also always mean the most expensive product is the best, either.
