Hello
I hope someone help me!

I have a 450 PPM Calcium.
9.5 dKH
8.4 PH
I have reached this level with turbo Calcium and Bakin soda.

I can add turbo Calcium (kent) and Baking soda for keep this levels, daily instead of Bionic (2parts) or Kalkwasser??
what do you think??
I can do that?
which consequences could I have?

Thank you.

You can but doing this way it will not be a less balanced additive. The balanced addition is no just or only Ca ++ and HCO3- in the form of Turbo and baking soda. Have you looked at Randy's DIY two-parts like B-Ionic ? Kalk by itself is the most balanced, as it only gives Ca++ and HCO3-, no Na+ or Cl- added.

I vote for Randy's 2 part system.

It is by far the lest $$$ and very easy to mix up.
