Calcium Chloride & Soda Ash

[scherzo]

Hi all,

I've always used the BRS 2 part powder that you mix.

I bought a liquid version (brightwell) because I ran out of the BRS stuff before I could get more. I found that I had to up my Ca dosing to keep it as high as with the BRS stuff.

I was thinking (to save on gas and time) that I might try the Ocean Aquatics bulk Sodium Chloride and then just buy some Sodium BiCarbonate and bake it at 200f for 1 hour.

Has anyone done this? Thoughts?
