2-part alternative or supplement kalk?

[OceanSprayCranberry]

My tank requires about 40ml alk and 35ml calc using Seachem Fusion 1&2. I don’t have enough room for a calc reactor and I’m trying to find a way to cut down on 2 part costs. Seachem seems pretty concentrated compared to other brands cause when I plug in my amount it converts to almost double the volume when using BRS or Esv. Does anyone know of a cheaper 2 part or should I just supplement with some kalk?

I would look into some of the other brands you mix yourself with calcium formate like Tropic Marin’s All for Reef or Carbo Calcium powders, or just add Kalk to the equation to hopefully reduce how much of your current two part you are using. I find the calcium formate supplements to be very concentrated.

I use just the Tropic Marin All for Reef powder (one part) on my 120 gallon mixed reef and go through a liter ever 3 weeks. It costs about $8 a liter when you mix it yourself. I bet you wouldn’t be using quite as much as I am. Just so you don’t think I’m a joke, here’s my tank:
