    on another note, if you look at the budgetwater systems i'm not sure i'd do their RO/DI systems. Probably go with Spectrapure as AZ will tell ya :)

    Nothing that would be toxic to reef systems (mainly calcium and magnesium minerals are added for our taste and our bones).

    In the right proportion (380-450 ppm), yes. The salt that you use contains a form of calcium (CaCl?) that should get you close to the desired level, so be careful when adding additional sources; test.
