I'm using Fauna Marin for my Ca & Mg needs, and just baking powder for the Alk. It seems to work well.

Do you mean baking soda?

Mine is calcium chloride from caco3reef and baking soda. I dose vodka on my third pump.
I manually add magnesium as needed, usually a bit every couple of weeks.

Calcium and the mag sulfate/chloride mix (randy holmes farley recipe) from Eli at CaCO3 and then I use baking soda for alk.

I may be biased because we sell Fauna Marin but I have been using the balling method for years... well before I was a retailer for the product.
