B-Ionic vs BRS

So I just got my two part from Bulk Reef Supply. I have been using B-Ionic for some time now. Just wondering if the dosing amount will be equal?

Im not sure about b-ionic but I use brs 2 part and they have a calculator on their website on the upper right hand corner shaded grey the link says calcium and alkalinity calculator and it seems to work well for me it also has a magnesium function if you will be dosing that as well

I emailed with Ryan at BRS about this before, and he said their instructions have you mix their 2-part at 75% of B-Ionic concentration. This is to make mixing easier.

So I would dose at 1.25x what you normally dose and check your levels in a week and tweak as necessary.
