I use the Sea Chem Reef Advantage Calcium, and Reef Builder combo, no problem getting the calcium levels up. These are powders and the only pain is you have to mix with water before adding to tank.
I think dripping kalkwasser is your ticket. I don't know a better way to raise Ca levels other then a calcium reactor. CaCl2 solutions like "Turbo Calcium" work for the short term but causes ionic imbalances.
