LOL, I just looked and its the calcium from chemmaster which is calcium chloride.

Ok, so basically I was just repeating the warnings from others that have told me that turbo calcium is to get your levels up and then you should use a product like kent liquid calcium to maintain it. It could very well be that turbo calcium is just stronger or mixed up stronger. I was told the excess chloride in the system could be detrimental but if we're all dosing cacl from randys 2 part then I guess its not so bad after all. I really should research this stuff before I open my mouth. I still think turbo calcium isn't the product to be using on a regular basis but thats just my opinion.

I still think pre-mixing is important. Perhaps if it is mixed up in a gallon batch and the 15 ml is decanted into a large cup of water prior to dosing into the sump it might be diluted before it hits any corals or critters.
