I just picked up some of this at HD. Says it's 94% calcium chloride. Just like Dowflake. The rest is potassium chloride, magnesium chloride and water. Is this ok to use in a mixed reef tank

I can't find any percentages but it says it's similar to peladow.The magnesium chloride is OK. I'm less sure of the potassium chloride. I didn't see any percentages for any of the ingredients, but if it is 94% calcium chloride, that's good. Do you know the percentages for the other two?
I believe Dowflake is all calcium chloride and water, no potassium chloride or magnesium chloride.
Right next to the calcium chloride it says 94. So I'm guessing it's 94% calcium chloride.I can't find any percentages but it says it's similar to peladow.
Was planning on using it as the calcium supplement.What are you using it for?
Might be okay for the occasional tweet of calcium. Might not be a good choice for two part. The problem is a potential accumulation of potassium. I mention this because our tanks generally consume calcium at a rate greater than the ratio of calcium to potassium indicated on the bag’s label.

Yes. The pellets of heat bag on the front says there is potassium chloride.The SDS you shared in post #5 does not mention potassium. Is it for the bag of heat you are inquiring about?
I’ve been using prestone driveway heat for a few years now but have thought about switching. No obvious problems so far though. Following along...
