    Texas WTB Looking for Neptune DOS and Kalk Stirrer

    If anyone has a DOS or Kalk stirrer they are willing to sell I’m looking to buy. I’m in north Texas, can meet locally if not local must be willing to ship.

    Kamoer x1 Pro T or Neptune DOS for kalk dosing?

    Im about ready to start dosing saturated kalk to my 65 gallon reef. Really only need a single head, trying to decide between these 2 dosing pumps. My plan is continuous dosing at a very slow rate throughout the day. May try only at night. We will see. But which would you pick and why?

    Kalkwasser Question

    Hello, I’m new to Kalkwasser and I plan to incorporate the Avast Kalk stirrer into my current system. The tank is fairly new so water changes are keeping up for now. I originally bought the Kamoer X1 Pro-T pump for this, but since then I’ve decided to buy a Kamoer F4 Pro so that I have the...

    Stupid or Crazy? Lye in my kalk chamber.

    My kalk chamber ran out and needed to be refilled. Typically I fill it up 4-5" at a time so it lasts a bit over a month. I'd like to boost my pH & alk more than what it provides because evaporation limits how much I can dose. Using a kalk slurry it's appealing for a few reasons. Namely, I'm...

    Is this going to be my normal pH?

    Hello so I have a 75G mixed reef but mainly SPS dominant I have a lot of frags not yet mini colonies only about 3 are but not very big anyways. I was running my pH 7.8-8.05 before anything then I purchased a co2 scrubber and recirculating it I’ve raised my pH to a low of 8.0-8.2 with a high of...

    Switching from 2-part to Kalkwasser Dosing.

    Hi All I have a 2 year old 425XL SPS dominant tank. I currently use 16.8mL of Calc (RedSea Foundation) and 96mL of Alk (RHF's SodaAsh recipe) daily. PH runs from between 7.97 to 8.18. I want to increase PH to boost growth, so want to dose Kalk at night (and day if needed). My question is...

    My Kalk isn’t doing anything

    solved: I realized when I reorganized all my wires and hung the DOS etc the dos for CA was hooked up backwards. Ugh 240g, 300system. 4 months old geared towards sps. 40 frags and 20 fish. So I’ve set up a doser for Kalk though a Kalk reactor (pump type) and when I had it off for a few weeks I...

    Kalk won’t raise alk

    Hey guys I recently started using kalk I’ve had kalk+2 for the last few years but never actually used it before till last week the goal was to stop my 2 part dosing at night and add the kalk to keep my ph higher at night then again my high is usually 8.4-8.5 and low is usually 8.1-8.2 so i wont...

    Kalkwasser set up

    Hi there, I will be setting up a kalkwasser stirrer tomorrow for my 180gal after years of simply having 3 parts supplement my tank. I was wondering if anyone had a calculator for how much should I be dosing considering I've got a 0.9 ish DKH consommation per day. I found a few calculator but...

    Dosing Kalk without a reactor or putting it in an ATO

    I am currently using Kalk in my ATO. I am wanting to mix the Kalk and then put it in a dosing container and use a dosing pump. The tank is 40 gallons and uses about one gallon of top off water a day. My current use it the minimal recommendation usage. 1/2 tsp for one gallon. Has anyone tried...

    Kalkwasser Reactor for 25g. Nano

    I recently bought a reservoir and a Tunze ATO and am wanting to try using Kalk. but I don't want to mix it in the reservoir. I ordered the Two Little Fishes Kalk. Reactor 300 from BRS and now am second guessing if this one will work for a tank as small as mine. I know they can get expensive and...

    Low nightly PH, should I add kalk

    My system has ~ 200L total water volume. I run a Red Sea 300 Skimmer with a recirculating CO2 scrubber (air Intake from the skimmer cup). I live in an NYC apartment and likely have elevated CO2 in the apartment (gas stove etc, 2 people + cat). I currently dose 3ml of Tropic Marin All-4-Reef and...

    Adding Kalk to Vinegar dosing

    My 250gallon system runs nutrient heavy, such that I dose a lot of vinegar for nutrient reduction (just under 220ml/day currently). For some time now I have been adding Kalk directly to my 5% vinegar in order to combat the ph lowering effect of dosing acetic acid. I currently mix 1 cup of Kalk...

    Utah TLF Kalk Reactor

    Two Little Fishies Kalk Reactor. This thing has been collecting dust for sometime now. I’ve converted all my systems over to 2-part so I have no use for anymore. I’d like to get $45 out of it. I’ll pay for the shipping.

    New to dosing kalkwasser

    I’m starting to have a large amount of lps and sps in my reef and just started testing for cal and alk. My alk is at 7 and cal is at 340. I’m looking into dosing kalkwasser or soda lime in my auto top off but I read that it can increase ph too high. Right now my ph is sitting at about 8.2-8.3...

    Kalk stirrer thoughts.

    Provided there is enough kalkwasser in a stirrer, is the liquid in the kalk stirrer maintained at 100% saturation? If it is, does it matter the amount of kalkwasser you add to the stirrer? The slurry just reducing slowly as fresh RODI is added via the ATO until you need to add more Kalkwasser?
