  What product would be part 2 to compliment the calcium chloride

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Rick,
  Most people would use the soda ash to be the alkalinity portion that compliments the calcium.

  1/ my PH is 8.4 right now. But my kh only 6 dkh. Can i use ur soda ash to raise the KH. Is It will increase my PH. I heard when kh goes up the calcium will goes down too right.
  2/ can i add ur Ca, Mg ( chloride and sulfate) and soda ash the same time?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Vu,
  1. You sure can, the pH effect is temporary just be sure to add it small amounts at a time. If you have an imbalance an overdose of alkalinity then tit would be possible for it to effect the calcium. Just adding a small amount to bring your levels up to an appropriate amount shouldn't effect the calcium though.
  
  2. If you add them slowly to separate high flow areas of the tank it should not be a problem. You just don't want to add them to the same area at the same time because if they are in a high concentration they will precipitate and fall out of solution.
