thanks

I am using the zeovit carbon, a little expensive but works well. I am using the reefers best salt. Once again a few extra bucks but mixes way better than the instant ocean I used prior to zeo.

What do you guys use to keep the CA up?

I add a shotglass of calcium chloride to my water change each week.

Thats perfect simple and effective I just have way too much in my sump to have any more reactors!

Do you make the ca/cl or buy it?

I buy the dry calcium from a LFS and mix the ca with RODI in a 1L pop bottle to keep on hand ready.

I also keep a bottle of baked baking soda mixed with RODI in a 1L pop bottle incase I need to play with my KH/PH but typically it stays level at 7dkh and my PH hovers between 7.8 and 8.1 from morning to night.

I also keep a box of epsom Salts on hand incase I need a bump of mg but I find RBS salt keeps the params pretty stable with the weekly water changes.

Can I ask what brand of Epsom salts you use?

Sorry guys I missed the original questions.

I am using a brand called Equate. It's in a blue 1L milk carton looking package. I picked it up at Walmart.
