 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.

I don't think 15ml of calcium chloride solution could kill a clam, thats about a tablespoon!
More likely culprit, but still a long shot would be the baked baking soda. The PH of that solution is extremely high and need to be dose very carefully. I've played with various mixtures of sodium bicarbonate (Arm & Hammer) and sodium carbonate (high density food grade) for 3 years, and I found that all things considered straight baking soda works the best.
