Only thing I have found with Oceanic is that the alk is a bit low for some tastes. Works good for me. Hard to find one that is perfect.

I have a auto top off(ATO) that I use. I was kind of asking if I should use a 2 part like the B-Ionic or C-Balance or just plain Ca without a Alk compound .
thanks
Is this a product auto top off, or a home made device?

There is a nice reefkeeping article out there somewhere that talks about balancing your levels. Unfortunately, adding Ca does not always raise Ca.
I'm trying to finally get my Ca levels up above 400 and was searching for info on the Ca/Alk interdependency and think I found the article you were talking about...
Seems like a great "how-to" reference without getting too much into the chemistry aspect of it all. Thought I'd tag it on to this post since this is one of the first posts I found when I started searching for Ca info.
