So I ordered the bulk reef supply kalkwasser starter kit and it should be at my house when I get home from work today. I haven’t been adding anything for my few corals and I dont have alkalinity calcium or magnesium testers yet. My tank is a 55 gallon with 2 anenomes with some zoas, acans, hammers and a rodactis? (I think that’s what it’s called). I plan on getting the 50 dollar Red Sea test kit when I get paid but I want to know what a safe amount would be for me to add until then. Also good ways to add it as I don’t have an auto top off or a diy dripper. Thank you all!

Yeah, I wouldn’t add it without a test kit. Ran kalk for a couple years on my last tank. The key is small doses in a high flow area, preferably away from corals. I dosed mine into the sump next to the drain pipes. But I would wait for the test kits before I started dosing.
