I'm having trouble keeping my calc & alk at proper levels in my SPS tank. What's the best 2 part to add and will it affect my PH much, which is usually around 8.3. Oh yeah Mag is at 1250.

concentration wise the most concentrated is B-Ionic but it will increase PH temporarely after addition.
If you are concerned about the PH you can try the DIY recipe number two using baking soda for the alkalinity part:

I use Randys home made two part. Works great easy to make and Very CHEAP !!!!!

Randy's Two Part.

Super easy, super cheap. Total cost was WAY less than B-Ionic, C-Balance, etc. and requires about the same amount, if not less.

I use Oceans Blend and I am happy with it.

Randy's 2-part gets my vote. Costs me less than $20 a year to make/use on my 40g mixed reef. Yes, a year. ;)
