Through everyones experience whats recommended to RAISE Ca/Alk levels?

been dripping kalk, and i have a two part C-BALANCE.

Before dripping Kalk (which is only a gal so far) Ca was at 350, and my goal is around 400-450 will test again soon.

Trying to get some coralline...

There are advantages and disadvantages to each system. I use limewater, but I compare all of the balanced calcium and alkalinity addition methods in this article:
