The past 10 days I’ve been measuring my Alk and evaporation. After a water change my Alk is 7.5 and right before a water change it’s 7.1. My tank evaporates 0.5 gallons to 0.75 gallons a day. My desired Alk is 8.5. I used a kalk dosing calculator but exactly how do I dose it? I’m planning on...
So my question how far apart, if any, should I keep AFR & kalk apart in terms of dosing-
I generally dose 8-4 pm for AFR and then 8 pm to 6 am for kalk?
Given that it can take some time for AFR to convert over in calcium carbonate -just concerned about precipitation.
Also one issue I have...
Hello everyone!
Now that I have more SPS in my tank, I want to try dosing Kalk again. The reason I stop dosing was because my tube line keeps getting clogged. I was using a drip system and it was and the drip was inconsistent. I do have a redsea doser
This is a brand new Avast Marine K1 kalk reactor with 5.25 lbs unused and unopened Avast Marine kalkwasser. The reactor has never touched water and is in absolutely perfect condition. I bought it for a new build but decided I didn’t have room for it. Asking $250 with shipping included to the...
Selling a Avast K1 that I got from a member. He replaced the motor when I got it and I used it for about 4 weeks. Works perfectly

$150 firm, not taking anything less for it. Local pickup preferred. Thanks!
So I just made the mistake of overdosing too much kalk slurry in one go and caused alk and [Ca] to drop a lot. Theres tonnes of other reefers who've posted about making the same mistake, and thanks to them and their advice I've been able to minimize the damage by dosing vinegar.
However, one...

I have a Kalk stirrer that’s programmed to stir one a day. And dose several times a day, how do I input a program to pause the dose for a 30 minutes after stirring and then restart the dosing?
Up for sale is an Avast Marine K2 Kalk Stirer (larger one). I purchased it in November 2023 and have the original packaging. I will send pictures upon request. I stopped using it because I need the space under my tank, so I ran a water line to a brute can outdoors and just have my doser pull...
I want to set some parameters to control Kalk and AB Dosing in DOS. Curious if the below will work?
I want to turn the Kalk off if the PH is too high and the CA and Alk dos off if the Kalk is keeping up...

Long story short, I'm in the middle of moving and found the old Kalk reactor in storage.
It is a Two Little Fishes Kalk reactor 300 and I never really liked it. It never seemed to agitate the Kalk and was a glorified container. Money is tight with the move, so I decided to modify this one...
I'm considering swapping from Tropic Marin's Carbocalcium to kalkwasser. I read in my searches for similar threads, that All For Reef is 25x more potent than kalk. I'm assuming that carbocal is the same potency as AFR. If I'm dosing 41.5ml of carbocalcium, that would equal about 1,037ml/4 cups...

Hello all!
I have a 135 gallon SPS dominated tank with 50 Gallon sump and 40 gallon frag tank, I set it up using Triton Core 7 with DOS pumps and a Trident and it's worked very well to this point. The problem is cost, as the demand has increased so has the uptake, as of a week ago I was dosing...
