First off, what causes Kalkwasser to raise alkalinity? Since it doesn't have carbonate in it, what happens to the hydroxide that causes alkalinity to increase? Is it something that will continue to accumulate if my corals can't consume it all?
Second, I'm attempting to combat my low pH (lows of 7.7, high of 7.95) but I'm only seeing my pH rise to a new peak of 8.07. Do I need to simply dose the kalkwasser more quickly? Im currently using two BRS 1.1ml dosers that run 24/7 but I'm just not seeing the pH bump I was hoping for. What is the longevity of the pH increase? If I have to dose more quickly, will I just see huge swings up and down?
Thanks
Edit: My kalkwasser is being dosed out of a gallon jug, 2 tsp per gallon with settlement at the bottom
