A.R.M. in a calcium reactor I'll never go back.

What have I used in the past.
Seachem dry Reef Advantage Calcium:Bought in bulk cheap and has mag and stronium.
B-ionic:Works but is expense
Mrs. Wages Pickiling Lime:$2 a pound dirt cheap. Works but kalk is PITB.

kent works but you have to use supplements to keep up with what seachem as created. ive seen problems with it using it long term. as to say you money see if your LFS can get the pure version of turbo calcium the stuff you buy in the round containers is about 32% calcium, but the true version works really well but remember if you get it you have to cut doses by 1/3
