I'd say that you would be perfectly fine with a kalkwasser drip and the occasional MgCl dose on a heavily dominated SPS tank.
2 part is exactly that - two parts. You dose one and then the other. You dose CaCl (calcium chloride) and basically what equivolates to baking soda/sodium bicarbonate with a two part solution. Kalkwasser is calcium hydroxide... it adds calcium ions as well as alkalinity in equal parts and raises pH slightly as you drip it in.
For an ATO you will need a container to hold your freshwater, an ATO kit like tunze or JBJ or anything else - they just about work the same. You don't have to have a kalk reactor to drip kalkwasser.
Also, kalkwasser is basically equivalent to pickling lime you can get at your local grocery store.
For that matter, you can also get pickling salt (calcium chloride) as well as baking soda (alkalinity) at your local grocery store as well.
