Kalkwasser

[Dr.DiSilicate]

I am thinking of using kalkwasser in my 75 in addition to the 2 part. My plan is to use the 2 part to get the calcium and alk in order, which it is, and add the Kalk to my 2 gallon ato. I want the kalk to keep things in check and use the 2 part to adjust things when needed. I have a 2.5 gallon ato res. and go thru 1 gallon every day winter and summer. I am using a aqulifter to pump the water in.

Who else is doing this and what suggestions do you have. Thanks in advance!

Also, do any of you kalkwasser users add vinegar to your mix?

I prefer kalkwasser to be pH controlled. Prevents snow storms. I put vinegar through my system every couple of weeks to clean out build up.

I do kalk and 2 part. Love that the kalk gets my ph up and its cheap

I dont use anything other than kalk, corals show extreme polyp extension when I drip a milky slurry.

Can I just mix a couple of gallons and stick it in my ato container? It would last a couple of days. My worry is that I heard that you need to use it almost immediately, is that true?
