When I had a tank running, I always used Epsom Salts - it's cheap for sure, and safe.

I also used to mix up my own Calcium supplements using "baked" baking soda, and used pickling lime for the other component.

No need to buy any commercial products to run a tank. just some thoughts!

I also use Epsom Salt.
You just need to watch your salinity when you do.
Read Randy Holmes-Farly's articles.
I basically use his techniques for my tanks.
