Are there alternatives to using the blocks that would release calcium into the water |

If you got to a beach u can get it free  Just soak it in a tub of fresh water for a night first to remove the salt  |

I did used to do it when they were smaller
They used to get on the bigger peices and float around on it like a surfboard |
