Hey all. So I am an old school reefer (2001). But believe it or not I have NEVER run kalk.
I am currently running brs 2 part and dose about 35 ml. Each part to keep alk and Ca at 8 & 430 respectively. Tank is a rsr 450. Running via dos and controlled by trident. Here's the rub. I am also running a co2 scrubber which is recirc to skimmer. Its a PITA. And adds more consumables to the tank budget.
I am thinking of switching to kalk. This would give me a pH boost and possibly allow me to get rid of scrubber, free up a DOS head and allow me to dose Mg. Thoughts on these goals?
How much kalk would I have to dose to keep up with 35ml of BRS 2 part?
