Default

the reaction of the two solutions would be as follows:

CaCl2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)⟶2NaCl(aq)+Ca(OH)2(s)

the resulting precipitate will be Ca(OH)2(s) aka:
kalkwasser/pickling lime/hydrated lime/slaked lime/construction lime/etc...

NaOH(s) is 600x more soluble than Ca(OH)2(s), so your resulting solution defeats the entire purpose of much higher pH raising effect of a “new and improved 2-Part recipe”

aswell, this recipe eliminates the need for a 3rd solution(Magnesium), since using Na2SO4(s) keeps this recipe from skewing the chloride to sulfate ion ratio balance in the aquarium.

there are further iterations of the above recipe, however it would require you to purchase analytical grade minor and trace elements to cover the “no water changes” method of reef keeping
