Default Considering different salt brand

Doesn't matter what your calcium starts at it will always go down if you have corals. You will have to dose calcium no matter what salt you use. For the 25$ that you spend extra on a bucket of salt you can get enough 2 part suppliment to last a year.

The benefits are that both the salt producer and the LFS make higher margins.

so the producer can make more money.

It's as Poon said, corals and clams pull the Ca out of the water to grow, that's the reason for manual dosing/dosing pumps or Ca reactors
