Kalkwasser will tend to raise the Ca, and have less of an effect on alkalinity. It will also tend to drive your pH up. May help you out.

What I have done in the past is to use a saturated mix of kalk for all my makeup water. The mix I use is 2 tsp kalk powder, 50 ml white vinegar in 1 gallon of water. I dripped it in during the night to keep pH from going too high.

Here are a couple of articles that may help.

I finally finished building and installing my Ca reactor, so I hope not to have to deal with any of this.
