Best way to raise Cal and Alk

[srbball22]

I'm currently using the Kent 2-part to raise my calcium and alkalinity. Is there a better brand of 2 part? and what is the difference between 2-part and kalkawasser? Pros and cons? thanks, im going up to the fish store tomorrow and am almost out of 2-part and it seems like i have to use a ton of it to raise it even just a little bit.

Here is a ca and alk calculator that I use from Randy holmes that is verry help full. You input the info and it tells you how much to use.

just select the product you want to use. I've always like Kent, B-ionic and Warner Marine.

thanks for the response, i use the reef calculator already but i was more wondering which brand was most efficient because it seems like my Kent 2-part doesn't last very long for the price it costs. so i didn't know if maybe kent is watered down more than others of if kalkawasser is better since its dry?

make your own 2 part. The directions are on the chemistry forum..
