I have been dosing Kalkwasser from a 5 gallon bucket using a Versa pump for several years. Currently I dose about 5 liters a day to my 125 gallon tank.

I have to refill this 5 gallon bucket every 3 days which is not ideal. Im wondering what people with much larger tanks are doing with kalkwasser? Do i just need to get a much bigger container - and if so, what reservoir do you guys reccomend? Would a kalkstirrer make it so i have to dose less kalk because its more concentrated?

I used kalk for 20 years and think it a good way to go.

I dosed it from 3 x 44 gallon brute cans plumbed together on the bottom to give a reservoir of about 120 gallons that would last me 2-3 months. :)
