Why not make you own with baking soda?

What is your Calc/Alk demand? what size tank and what is in the tank?

Softies? LPS? SPS? the percentage of each?

I doubt you have a high calc/ALk demand I would use either Kalkwater or a product like B-ionic. The two parts are very effective and for what you have wil be used in small amounts.
