kalkwasser

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...

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...

I’m looking to buy a medium to large sized kalkwasser reactor, preferably lightly or unused. Let me know what you got, thanks!

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...

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...

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...

Hi reefers, I start using Kalk + All for reef to substitute three parts to achieve a better PH. However, I do notice my CA and MG have been raising after about a month. I have tuned the dosing volume to (my tank is 53G SPS + Euphyllia): 1050ml Kalk daily + 20ml All for Reef daily in this...

hi everyone i’m wanting to start dosing kalk but i’m a little confused, i have a whole neptune system on the way with the trident and dos, so i’m planning on starting to dose kalk with my dos but my question is how do i do this? do i calculate my evaporation rate and dose that amount in kalk? do...

As the title implies... Will Aiptasia-X or AiptasiaRx or Kalkwasser control and/or kill Vermetid snails? I thought if I could inject something into the Vermetid snail tube... it could kill it, then I thought how about the Aiptasia products that work so well killing Aiptasia (and creating 1000s...

Hi, I have a Fluval evo 52L (13 gallon) 1 kenya tree frag 1 plating monti 1 gsp frag 2 small clownfish So nothing heavy at the moment, looking to get some more corals in the future I had issues with phosphate/nitrate causing huge amounts of green algae that I now have under control by using...

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...

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...

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...

Hi, I have a 80 gal mixed reef tank, 25 gal sump, ATO. Currently at 8.6, 422, 1230. Having a hard time getting the Mg levels to 1400. Using Red Sea's Reef Foundation system (liquid). Looki g for recommendation of using Red Sea's Reef Foundation system vs Kalkwasser? I read Kalk is a great...

Am I dosing too much kalk? I am currently dosing 320ml day of fully saturated seachem kalk and it feels too much but seems to be maintaining everything level. I am also dosing 5ml all for reef. 20 gal heavily stocked mix reef. I wish it would help raise calcium but I am afraid to dose more...

Just curious about the amount of kalkwasser that I'm dosing This is a new tank (2 months cycled after 4 month fish cycle) Waterbox 135.4 (maybe 120gallons of total water volume) I'm dosing 157.7 ml/hour of saturated brs pharma kalk with a Kamor X1 Pro (about 1 gallon/day of saturated kalk...

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...

So about a week ago i began dosing kalkwasser into my tank through my ATO to try to raise my alkalinity and calcium given they were both reading lower than usual. My alkalinity has increased by .2 already which is good except the kalkwasser mix seems to be making my water cloudy. I am running a...

Hi everyone, I've got a kalk question. I want to eventually get a kalk stirer but it's out of my budget at the moment but I want to start dosing kalk because I dose 2 part and it's expensive, also my ph peaks at 8.1 but is not very stable so I want to get my average ph higher. Could I take some...

So I just began to dose kalkwasser into my 32 gallon tank through my ATO. I am using seachem kalkwasser and no matter how much i mix and stir it the ATO water never gets clear and is pretty cloudy with sort of a film on top even after stirring for minutes. I am just wondering if this is normal...

Hi guys, I’m starting to use kalkwasser to control my PH, i bought the two little fishes kalk, and I mixed with a auto stirrer, but the water after more than 10 hours looks a little milk, dump it ? Or it just like that?

So I just tested my alkalinity and it was 6.9 and I would like to get it back up to around 10. I want to start dosing kalkwasser through my ATO to do this but dont know if this will increase my alkalinity or just keep it stable at where it is now. Does anyone have experience using kalkwasser to...

Hey people, if I want to control a dosing pump to turn on through a plug bar socket if my ph falls below 7.8 and turn off the socket when the ph hits or goes above a set value (say 8 how would I programme this? I have posted this on the GHL Facebook page but no one has answered. Can anyone help...
