You can ad dolomite to add magnesium as well. Once you have it dialed in they keep the alk and calcium dead on.
I loose about 20ppm calcium in my tank daily so I need a calcium reactor to keep up.

depends what you are using. If you use a mrs. sages pickling lime it will add alk as well as all the trace elements like stroium, ect. If you use ca media it will raise the calcium level and lower the PH level because of the CO2 injection
