Best Calcium additive

[Joe Reefer]

I prefer using seachem also. At least there additives do what they say they are going to do.

I use Kent Turbo Calcium. It is pure Calcium chloride and is the most concentrated additive I've found yet. A couple of tsp would boost a 29 galon tank like 75-100 ppm.

Turbo Calcium here, too. Concentrated, cheap, easy.

I use Seachem's Calcium (powder form), and while it works, I am not impressed with the powder form. When I open the jar, and scoop out product it often leads to small powder clouds.

I also have Seachem's liquid version, although it is only supposed to maintain calcium. I find that the cost isn't justified for this product.

In general I find the powered product works better, and is more cost efficient. The trade off is that it is messy to work with, and it makes me uncomfortable to know that I'm breathing in chemicals.

I can see my range of options is expanding

Here is the cheapest, and what I use for the occasional Ca+ boost...

Go to your local Pool & Spa dealer and ask for Calcium Chloride... for around $15 you will get as much as you need for years... and it is the identical chemical and physical composition as Kent Turbo Calcium or the old ESV, (now SeaChem???), Calcium Chloride. Dose the same as you would the Kent product... and before people flame me... I have done my research on this... and pretty much ALL Calcium Chloride is composed of 77 - 80% Calcium Chloride & the rest moisture by weight... INCLUDING Kent.
