    KALK Dosing question

    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...

    Apex neptune programming

    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?

    Dosing AFR & Kalkwasser

    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 ?

    Red Sea ATO+, sensor problems with Kalk?

    I bought a Red Sea ATO upgrade kit about 10 days ago. Installed in my Reefer 350, got erratic behavior - inconsistent fills between 0.05 gallons per fill (which would be the expected top off volume per fill given 25x25 return chamber and 3 mm between sensors), up to 0.8 gallons per fill with...

    Kalkwasser dosing questions

    Hi all. So due to my pH woes I think I'm going to start dosing kalk. I'm going to get a small container for it, get the brs 1.1ml pump, and hook it up to my apex. I'm going to have the pH limit set but my question is, is any other failsafes I can put into the apex to make sure it doesn't...

    RSR 170 Evaporation Question

    I’m a little confused by a recent development in my Red Sea Reefer 170 setup. To give some backstory, I’ve been dosing Kalkwasser continuously with the use of a versa pump for about 2 months. I also do continuous auto-water changes with 2 versa pumps. 6 days ago, I increased my Kalk dosage from...

    Swapping from CarboCalcium to Kalk

    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...

    Out of the box idea - Avast Plank as Kalk Slurry Doser

    I recently got this device as an autofeeder. I’m impressed with how precise it doses food… Last night I heard about some people dosing Kalkwasser slurry straight to the tanks to supplement Ca/ALK and it got me wondering about a similar high precision powder dosing system that could be placed in...

    Imbalance KH assumption with Kalk and All for reef

    Aiptasia-X or Aiptasia Rx or Kalkwasser control and/or kill Vermetid snails

    As the title implies... Will Aiptasia-X or AiptasiaRx or Kalkwasser control and/or kill Vermetid snails?

    General Kalkwasser Mechanism Questions

    Sup guys, I'm just looking for some clarity on kalkwasser and how they work and all that, looking to switch over from the 2 part dosing. So from my understanding, the current method to dose kalkwasser is to just add the amount into the ATO system and dose it slowly at night. The reason we...

    Kalkwasser as the main source of macro? Is anybody using it?

    Hey there, Following @Randy Holmes-Farley advice and BRS videos, I am keen on trying Kalkwasser as the key source of Ca, Alkalinity and pH increase. The primary reason is the fact that it is supposedly straightforward followed by lack of additional NaCl accumulation which would require...

    Kalkwasser dosing using tank water

    Hi, I am contemplating dosing kalkwasser and was wondering whether I can use a doser to pump tank water through a container with saturated kalkwasser which would then overflow into the return pump section of my sump. I see setups, where people use their ATO water to do the same, however, as I...
