What brands of alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium are you using?

[abinder]

I'm curious at to what brands people are using.

Presently, I'm using Red Sea. However, I'm thinking of switching.

I use ESV B-Ionic for Alk, Ca, and Mg. Its a bit pricey, but its super convenient and its always worked well for me.

 

[Cory]

Baking soda for alk, kent calcium chloride for cal. Epsom salts for magnesium.

Soon switching to just limewater.

BRS

I use Seachem predissolved Alk and Calc. The calc already has mag and strontium in it.

 

[Anirban]

I use all three from Drs. Foster and Smith.....

 

[JimWelsh]

Big bag of sodium bicarbonate from swimming pool supply store for alkalinity. Big bag of calcium chloride from same store for calcium. Grocery store Epsom salts combined with USP grade magnesium chloride from Greenway Biotech for magnesium.

Arm and Hammer Baking Soda (baked at 350 for an hour) for Alkalinity; Prestone Driveway Heat (a snow melt product) for Calcium; Mag Flakes (a snow melt product) and Epsom Salt for Magnesium. Other then a short stint with B-Ionic, I've been using it since 2008.

Calcium and Alk: bulk Calcium Hydroxide or pickling lime where ever I find it cheapest.

Bulk mag chloride and sulfate where ever I find it cheapest when I need it which is getting to be less and less it seems.

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

I use calcium hydroxide from BRS.
Magnesium chloride hexahydrate from BRS.
Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate from a local drug store.

 

[Chrisfish]

I use Seachem predissolved Alk and Calc. The calc already has mag and strontium in it.

This is what I use as well.

I'll probably switch to the BRS supplements.

I know that one of the 3 Red Sea supplements has strontium in it. Do any of the 3 BRS supplements have strontium in it?

Thanks for any info or help.
