If you want higher calcium levels, go with reef crystals.

+1 Agreed, plus the other trace elements are higher, too. Here's a good thread worth reading on salt comparisons...

+1 on Ca levels. I was using ESV's two part calcium with instant ocean dosing every other day to every day, once I used RC I only dose about once a week.
