For calcium, alk and magnesium additives I've had good luck with randy's 2 part additive. Best part... it's super cheap!

What is "Randy's two part additive"? is it a DIY mix? or available in stores?

Its a DIY mix, Littlesilvermax (chemmaster) and BRS sell the materials you need. Its way cheaper than buying the store bought. Here is the link

And a handy calculator for it.
