Just a note, turbo calcium will raise chloride levels also. Not recommended for Ca maintenance

This is true. I've spoken to the technical guys at Kent about it and although they recognize the potential danger in adding chloride ions to a tank, they assured me that they haven't had a case of a tank failing because of using their product. they said natural sea water contains up to 20,000 ppm of chloride ions, but they didn't tell me what the concentration is in Kent Turbo Calcium.
I have recently begun using a regiment of combined Turbo Calcium and Kalk to buffer my tank. Its taken a while but my levels are slowly but steadily increasing from the 310ppm mark up to 360 as of yesterday. Its a lot cheeper than liquid suppliments.
