http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/nov2002/chem.htm This article explains relations between alc+calc You have to maintain both at acceptable levels, if you overdose on one precipitation drives the other low. Example if you dose calcium chloride and drive calcium to 550ppm alkalinity will drop

I never used little fishes, only B Ionoc and then I started using 2 part, and lime water. All these companies claim they have other stuff in their 2 part, maybe ?..........I have seen top fish tanks using Randys 2 part. Calcium chloride and baked baking soda. Cheap stuff 
hey the Chinese use regular Iron nails as a GFO and it works !!! In the old days for phosphate removal people used steel wool and it worked here you see people scared to death from something oxidizing in their fish tank, if they knew it can be beneficial (of course only Iron, any other metal can be a disaster )
