Both are likely fine. Not sure which is better but neither would be my exact picks.

Reef Fusion claims to be 1:1 dosing, but is not properly designed for that. Still may be OK, but it concerns me that they can't get that simple thing correct.

I used kalkwasser only for 20 years.

AFR is by far the simplest choice, and works well, but can be more expensive and has no pH boost.

A diy two part is another very good option.

ESV B-Ionic 2 part is also a good choice and provides a pH boost.

I am am member of the Boston Reefers, but have not been to a meeting in quite a while. Last one was where I donated a lot of stuff for an auction of theirs about 9 years ago as I was taking down my previous aquarium.
