I was adding Kalk @ 3tsp per 5g in my ATO water and it was keeping me very steady ALK was 8.3-8-8.5 and Cal was 340-350.
I added alot of new corals. 10 zoa frags and 3 larger leathers. My ALK and Cal started dropping so I went to 4tsp per 5g of Kalk. That took me to ALK at 8.3-8.6 and Cal 460-470.
My concern is the extra high calcium and still lower Alk.
Its a 125g tank, basement sump and 20g side refugium around 160g total water.
No SPS, mainly zoas, leathers, LPS. All corals are doing good I just want to keep the ALK steady and the Cal at 450.
Would I be better off running a doser for Alk, Cal and Mag? Or is there a way dial the Kalk in better that I am missing.
