kalkwasser

Last year, I switched from BRS Pharma Grade Kalk to Avast Marine's 5-gallon bulk option to save on costs. I think the Avast mix is similar to, or actually is, food-grade pickling lime (like Mrs. Wages), but I made the switch because both Avast and a lot of online resources suggested the...

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...

I was fortunate to be home today and noted that I kept on hearing my Tunze 3 nano ATO activate. I thought this was weird and went to check on the tank and saw that the sensor was completely submerged and the water in the tank very cloudy (I dose 2 tsp kalkwasser/gal in my ATO reservoir). I...

My parameters are always on the low end values and even I'm using kalkwasser, it's always depleting. My salt is af reef salt. Now I'm transitioning on using all for reef. I just want to ask if can I use both or the daily afr is already enough to maintain my parameters? Thanks! Alk - 6.85 Ca...

Tropic Marin Balling Method (BRS Hybrid) with Trace Elements A, K : Compatible with Kalkwasser use? I have started the Balling Method (BRS Hybrid) with the addition of the Trace Elements A and K batches. I cannot get my PH out of the 7.8 at night to 8.15 in the day range. Yes, I have tried...

I’m dosing Kalkwasser with a Versa but it always always gets stuck. I’m dosing 3ml/min. I even tried running it at full speed and the kalkwasser still gets stuck. In some situation, I works but after a few mins when it goes back to normal dosing, nothing is coming up through the line. I’ve...

Is Kalkwasser a tool available to use to lower phosphate levels? Further, do all 2 part Alk & Calc additives bind with, thus lowering, phosphates? After watching a Tidal Gardens video that mentioned using Kalkwasser as a way to lower phosphates, I came across some information and some older...

What's the best product to dose to raise Alkalinity when your Alk is low, the pH is normal, Calc is normal and the Magnesium is normal? 20G IM Nuvo Fusion Pro 2 Temp: 80ºF Salinity: 1.026 SG Ph: 8.1 Alk: 6.2 dKH Nitrate: 13.8ppm Phosphate: 0.24ppm Calc: 442ppm Magnesium: 1540ppm (all checked...

Hello, Just a question of curiosity. Assuming a set Alkalinity target would there be any difference in pH between using Kalk, All for Reef or 2 part ? Or would they all settle at the same pH level. I know there can be limitations to the amount of Kalk one could use based on evaporation and...

Seeking responses from seasoned reefers who have employed multiple approaches. We are talking about the simplest supplementation method for a novice hobbist to understand and apply, not the optimal one.

I'm using kalkwasser via ato. Since last night, it was unplugged. I plugged it in earlier without checking the ato, so it sucked water to the tank. Then I saw ato was laying on the floor with sediments! What will happen to my tank? What to do?

Hello. I am dosing 60ml AFR daily for my sps dominated tank (400 liters). I noticed that i cannot increase the pH by using Kalk anymore. The high pH effect of Kalk last for 1 month then gone. It is likely using AFR does not keep enough buffer in the tank, so I likely cannot increase pH. Is it...

Sharing my experience for others that may be experiencing the same issue. Basement 150g mixed reef lagoon with total water volume of about 225g While struggling with low PH (7.7 - 7.8), I went through PH chasing journey and found the following solutions: - DIY Co2 Scrubber - Kalkwasser reactor...

Guys I have a 140 gallon softy/RFA tank and was wondering which product would be best for me and if you could explain the differences between the products. Currently I use marine buffer in my ATO and i started getting coraline algae ( never happened before) This makes me question of Kalk and...

Hello all! Ive been dosing Kalk with a medium sized Kalk reactor and a kamoer to match my evaporation rate. I clean it once every 3-4 weeks right now and usually add 6 tablespoons of BRS Kalk to about 2 gallons of RODI that my reactor holds. Ill add one or two tablespoons once a week or two...

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?

How do I dose AFR & Kalkwasser together ? Correct me if I’m wrong , Kalkwasser raises Alk & Cal. If I dose AFR wouldn’t it also increase ALK & CAL? And other elements ? Do I basically just split the doses of AFR and KALk until I reach my desire parameter ?

I am getting back on the kalkwasser train and am debating what trace element solution to dose. Im hoping to find a solution that is only one part. What do yall use?

Used for about a year.
