Good 2 part solution recommendations?

Hi, kinda new to the forum..

just wondering if any of you have an recommendations for a good two part solution for calcium/alkalinity/mag

i saw the randy solution is kind of outdated, being that the calcium chloride found in most retail stores is now not recommended to put in a home aquarium.. so i dont think i want to mess w/ this recipe...

any other links.. or regiments you all use would be nice...

would be for a 30 gallon nano reef
and a 58 reef

I have access to a better Ca.Chloride that is far more pure then Randy's and you can totally use it with no problems as he used Dow and they reformulated their.. I get mine through a buddy who manages a concrete plant and he is the Lab Tech who controls the standards for the states mixtures for high ways Just mix it like you read . If interested ? P/M me I'll get you the info. I use it now to boost mine when the Ca reactor lags a little and needs a boost. My ca is 97% Calcium and 2 % Magnesium and 1% carbonate

Im sorry for being so slow on your response, but here are two types of a two part system;

ESV Additives/Supplements or

I like the Kent or EVS products here is The Kent's and you can find the EVS here also .. If you want or decide on what you need ? P/M me and maybe we can get you a better price ? I try to help out the guys here on 3 as a sponsor .. Our site is on hold now until I can get back up to speed . I still need to build the shopping cart area for dry goods and such
