kalkwasser dosing

I have a 50G cube tank that currently doesnt run a skimmer at all, no filter socks , just a fuge on reverse schedule to display in one of the sump compartments with a kessil h80 and cheato. Currently I struggle with keeping nutrients up have to feed pretty heavily to keep things stable at around...

I wanted to write about this subject as I too started to dig into the world of chemistry and became determined to simplify the thousands of words and simple but yet complicated chemistry equations about Alkalinity. come to find out its not that complicated! So let's uncomplicated Alkalinity...

Goal: Maintain Alkalinity/Calc and help PH using Kalkwasser as my primary dosing method. Question: How do I determine the starting amount of Kalkwasser to my tank. What concentration of mix and how much throughout a 24 hour period? Follow on Question: Should I stop using my Co2 Scrubber if...

Is there really a difference between dosing KalkW bs Reef Calcium???? They both do the same thing from coral growth, aid absorption of nutrients and calcium balance.

Average Parameters & Equipment Temp.......76.5-77.5F Salinity.......1.0255 SG NO3-API.......10-20 ppm range PO4-Hanna.......0.17 ppm pH.......7.50-7.68 observed range Alk-Hanna.......10.6 dKH KH-Salifert.......10.4 dKH Calcium-API.......out-of-range / 580-600ppm (29-30 drops of API reagent 2)...

Hey everyone, So I've recently noticed that my Alk was somewhat on the low side (~7.4) , my Cal being ~ 410ish and Mag ~ 1400, pHwas inherently low so I decided my course of action was to use Bicarbonated water to raise my ALK and pH to ~9 dKH. I've since then been able to get it to my...

So I'm using a classic Apex system with an EB 8 and a BRS doser 1.1 ml. I slowly add kalk throughout the day and it's at a constant rate every hour. At night the tank will drop in PH even though I'm dosing kalk. So far Ive got my PH up to 8.2 and it will drop down to about 7.98 when the lights...

Hi Everyone, Im pretty new to reefing (9 months) but have had some relative success in a short amount of time with my system, at the same time my alk and Ca consumption has gone up quite a bit - especially since the coralline algae really decided to kick off I bought some kalkwasser the other...
