Your KALKWASSER MIX is the only thing I would put in my tank. The rest is just snake oil in my book. Some people use it and swear by it. Me, I like the plain ol' fashion stuff.

i'd only use the last 2
personally, save your money on the others

Thanks guys..
It's not a questions of saving money.. I already have this stuff, and wanted to know more about before I contemplated using it.
I don't like the idea of adding chemicals that I don't know about. Especially to my display tank.
Thanks!
