i have sps and i use kalk. depending on demand you may need to add more ca and alk which is when a ca reactor may be needed.

I use kalk. drip into my tank too, just that i was at the 'lfs' looking for some type of flow restrictor cause mine keeps clogging, but I was told that nobody uses kalk. like that anymore, because it was a pita wen they clog up I thught that maybe there was something new to replace the drip method
thanks

If it is dissolved in RODI water Kalk shouldn't clog using the drip method. If you saturate past the point of it dissolving it looses its effectiveness anyway. I have never cleaned my tubing or had it clog in over a year using my LiterMeter3.

Ditto, but I drip mine through that Kent Dripper. If I were to do it again I would just get a drip line and tap it into a 5 gallon bucket. Here it is easily mixed, and ready to go. No mixing and then pouring into another bucket. Cost of bucket $5 at Lowes, dripper ~$0.89, airline tube $2,
