Not the advice I'd give. CaOH provides a balanced mix of Ca and alk, whereas CaCl only gives Ca, and contributes an excess of chloride ions which can accumulate.
For now though, additives aren't even needed. Nothing in the tank consumes Ca, so regular partial water changes with good salt will supply enough Ca for coralline.
When Ca demand goes up, using one of the 2 part solutions would be the best bet for supplementation.
And although turbo calcium is a great product, it's best used for the occasional adjustment of Ca rather than maintenance.
