I'd recommend getting your calcium and magnesium from the Chemmaster. I did track down a product that was supposedly 100% calcium chloride but I just felt better using the food grade stuff from the chemmaster. For magnesium you could use epsom salts from the drug store if you are in a pinch but I don't think that is good for long term use as it adds to much sulfate. Chemmaster's magnesium is around 8 parts magnesium chloride to 1 part magnesium sulfate IIRC.

Edit: I should add you need to get your calcium and alkalinity in check before you should worry about the magnesium. For raising alk all you need is baking soda.
