Dave,
    I wonder about the source of calcium used for the Rift Lake additives 
from Kent. I have been using them for my Tanganyikan killies (because I usually 
get them as door prize at local aquarium society). They have both solid and 
solution forms of the Lake salts. Probably Calcium sulfate or chloride for 
solubility? Then they package the buffer separately.
