I currently using kalk with vinegar (200ml/5 gallons) in my ATO to supply my calcium and alk. Since this dosing varies greatly by how much the tank is evaporating, I’m switching to the balling method- specifically Tropic Marin 3 part.
I’ve been adding vinegar to my kalk mixture since heard it was better for mixing it with added benefit of added carbon. My question is should I continue to add the same amount of vinegar to my top off water now that it will be straight RO/DI? I’m not wanting to create more changes at once than needed. Thanks for any advice.
 
I wouldnt dose vinegar.
But the vinegar can act as a carbon source for bacteria reducing nitrate and phosphate so I would check those careful the next months.
