Daily water changes of equal parts kalkwasser + brine

[NeveroddoreveN]

I dose limewater and have been thinking about doing daily automated water changes. Then it occurred to me that my desired daily water changes would be about 2x what I'm dosing with kalk.

Could I make a double concentrated brine solution of about 70ppt and dose it in equal amounts with the kalk?

So for example, each day I would be replacing maybe 2 liters of tank water with 1 liter of kalk + 1 liter of 70ppt brine.

That way, i could continue using kalk even after it's more demand than the amount of evaporation.

What calcium\mag level will your chosen salt mix be at with 70ppt? Will your salt mix even clarify at that solution level?I'd be concerned about precipitation.

Yeah. I'd be concerned about what precipitates out of such a high concentrated salt solution.
