preferred calcium dosing method

[zero26]

My calcium is a bit low at 380. I was thinking of just getting some Calcium Chloride Dihydrate, from brs and just dosing from time to time, so I dont have to setup a kalk drip.

That's a perfect way to boost calcium, but eventually you need some continual calcium and alkalinity additions, and a combo method of some sort works best. I personally use limewater.
