Whats everybody using to dose kalk? My evaporation changes quite a bit between seasons so I don't wanna use ATO. Want something that's reliable and I want to know how much is being dosed.
 
I use a dumb dosing pump from BRS (it's sold as 1.1 ml per minute but mine actually does ~1.6) and a programmable timer.
 
I use Ecotech Versa dosing pump. I like the easy way you could set it up.
I dose Kalk at night time to keep my PH up since my tank is an a close room
I use a 5 gallon bucket and mix kalk let it sit and dose only the clear part

How long does that 5 gallon bucket last you?

This is exactly what I used except I ended up stepping up to a 50ml minute pump to keep up. A $20 digital timer from Amazon that can be programmed by the second and it worked perfect. I can't imagine a doser that uses tiny tubing working well. The brs pumps use 1/4" tubing. Less than $100 and your set.
