I run a 20 gallon AIO tank with LPS and softies. I had two separate ATO containers, one with kalk and one without kalk. The one without kalk was used as a regular topoff. The one with kalk had a doser that delivered kalk to the tank. The doser unfortunately died recently.
I've since added kalk to the main ATO and delivered kalk during the topoff. I found that the levels weren't keeping up so I added a pump to the ATO container to stir the kalk once a minute every hour.
I've been considering what the best way to add kalk is...what do you think is the best?
1) Kalk stirrer/reactor - Never used one before. Would it work with an AIO tank?
2) A separate container with mixed kalk and dose it with a doser
3) Add kalk to the topoff water and mix it up every hour to keep it highly concentrated
