My Cal is at 360 and 400. What supplement would you recommend as being the best to bring my Calc level to 450-500 without a reactor, without Kalkwasser.

Basically, I want to know between Kent's liquid reactor, C-Balance, B-ionic Tech CB and the like which is the best and most practical.

Thanks in advance for the help.

FYI,

Mag is at 1280
Alk 4
PH 8.4
Temp 79.5
Alix

Calcium Chloride (Turbo Ca) would be the best choice, or only the Ca part of a 2 part.

If you do not want to also raise alkalinity, then I'd use calcium chloride, which is sold by ESV, Warner, Kent( Turbo calcium) and other companies.

Alternatively, using just the calcium part of any two part additive system will be fine.
