So I was dosing 2 part manually but decided to buy a doser a dose kalkwasser. Before I ran out of part B I dosed my alk to 9.8 and was getting great growth and seeing growth tips.
Then came the kalk with the doser..
I mixed about 15 grams in a gallon jug and drilled a hole thru the top for the tube.
I started with 12 doses of 10 mL and monitored dkh and it was dropping throughout the week. Upped the doses to 18x and 19 mL doses and topped off with more kalkwasser.
Decided to attach an ato bucket to the other doser head as I will be going out of town soon and I need that running for the trip. So I decided to add about 15 grams of kalkwasset to the 3 gallons of freshwater in that bucket. Set the dose head to 2x for 500mL a day.
The dkh is still dropping! I am now at 8.3 dkh. Any tips how to keep this dkh up with kalkwasser? I am trying to tune in my evaporation rate because I manually topped off before so I can determine my maximum daily dose.
