I assume you mean this:

Its made for melting ice and while I don’t think there are additives in it I wouldn’t trust that it is food grade.

I see your problem. You need calcium chloride but the only food grade source you have is mail order. I’d still try to get food grade calcium chloride though. On an Aquarium web site I ran across this statement: “Smart ReefTM +Calc (Calcium Chloride) has is high purity calcium chloride and does not contain high bromides which recently manufactured calcium chloride by DOW does. Bromide can be detrimental to your aquarium.” This seem to imply that regular CaCl2 may contain traces of other stuff.

I would like some feedback on the use 5.2 pH Stabilizer. Any opinions one way or another would be appreciated.

Using a Pool salt to maintain the pH is a better idea. Pool salt is very cheap to purchase and also easy to get the results. You should try the best salt product to get the maximum result.

Sorry, I don't typically respond to spam bots, but pool salt is absolutely, 100% NOT a better idea. Check your algorithm to make sure you're not posting on a food/beverage website when setting up an ad for pool chemicals. Sheez!
