Couple questions about dosing alk

[Jman76]

Hello reefers, so I have a couple questions about alk dosing.
1. Is Red Sea Foundation B liquid the same as kalk? If not, what is its composition? 2. Is this product safe to dose via ATO? Is it soluable and will it stay that way in ATO res, or will there be settling?
Thanks!

Not, it is very different, and yes, you can dose it with a dosing pump or by ATO.

It does not add any calcium, so you will need to dose that too and cannot combine it with the part B.

Just what I needed to know. Just foundation B Last question, does it solubilize? I dont need to worry about keeping ato resevoir agitated, correct? Thanks Randy
