do you have to slowly drop it into the tank?
Gravity dripper was the cheapest option.but it works great!!do you have to slowly drop it into the tank?
If you're having trouble finding the pickling lime in stores, most Walmarts have them, in the section with the Mason jars. Make sure not to but pickling salt.ok thanks
What is your thinking behind this? If you use kalk or 2 part, the addition of a magnesium supplement may be required. One or the other doesn't make the difference. The system demand makes the difference.Kalk will just jack around your mag content. Setup the 2 part and include mag.
In what way is this different for 2 part?Kalk will only get you so far. Unless Mag is addressed at the same time, you're ignoring the demands of the tank. There's a reason they're referred to as the big 3 iirc. People consider kalk ok for initiating dosing, but rarely do you see people suggest kalk and mag. (thus etc/etc)
I'm curious, is there a reason you chose to do it this way instead of just increasing the dosing of your 2 part to boost pH?Overall I prefer 2 part, but I dose kalk through a stirrer. It's easier for me to dial in 2 part. I mainly dose kalk to boost ph

That is the reason for my confusion. It doesn't matter if you are using 2 part or kalk, to get a specific increase in pH requires a specific increase in Alk.Kalk has more of a PH boost that 2 part relative to Alk. You are definitely correct though if I would have wanted to have a higher Alk value, but I didn't want that.
