Steve, it is the cholride ions. I've bought Kalk to buffer my calcium levels for the long term and it seems to be working well.
Another note, Kent defended their product by claiming that sea water contains 20,000 ppm of chloride ions anyways, though they wouldn't tell me the concentration of turbo calcium so I can't compare.

Well allrighty Steve
 ... I stand somewhat corrected... I meant balanced in that both are added at once... though your consumption will of course vary from tank to tank.
