Ca++ and alk supplement question

mb167204 · 02/04/2009, 05:59 PM

Im currently at 3 for my alk and 240 for my Calcium. Im currently adding a tablespoon of CaCl to increase my ca. After testing tonight my Ca has moved up to 340. Once i get up the Calcium i was wondering what kind of supplement i should buy. I was thinking i would get something like the following. Would these be ok to ca/alk maintenance.

B-ionic, C-balance, Kent Tech CB,
I also have inherited a bottle of kent liquid reactor. Will this work?

after you get the alkalinity and calcium levels where you want them, kalkwasser is very good at maintaining those levels http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-01/rhf/index.php

Once your Calcium, Alkalinity and Magnesium are at proper levels, any quality two part supplement will work well if you continue to test and use it correctly IMO.

You can use the 2 parts to get your levels where you want them, and to maintain them.

I personally use the two little fishes C-balance.
