I'll start with my setup. I've got a gravity feed bucket to float valve in my sump. I pour rodi into the bucket and then put about 1 tsp. of kalk per gallon in there with a powerhead. The float valve finally clogged after about 1.5 years. aka one day i came home and about 8 gallons of kalkwasser went into the tank. I've only lost 3 acro's. ora tri color valida. ora hawkins enchinata, and a random neon green acro that I still have a smaller frag of.
for about 1.5 weeks i've been adding rodi daily. no kalkwasser. I did a 25% water change. I just tested my water after FINALLY getting calc and alk test kits. my calcium is at 500+ and my alk is about 6.1 dKH. i've got some Ocean's blend 2 part.
can I add just the alk part to raise that up? or should i add equaly both like the instructions say.
side note...I just ordered a geo 618. it's on back order, but I've got evertyhing else. Just waiting for the reactor to get in and come to me.
