Hey,
I’m currently using kalk as a means to replenish ca/KH. Its been going well so far and I like it better than two part dosing that I’ve done on previous tanks.
As we all know there comes a point when kalkwasser simply can’t keep up with the demand and I’m starting to reach that point, unfortunately I don’t have the space for a calcium reactor.
I know that I could add vinegar to the solution to make it even more saturated but I’m trying to eliminate as many steps as possible to minimize the risk of me screwing something up.
So my thought is that if I were to add a small circulation pump to my ATO reservoir it should keep the kalk suspended in the water column meaning that I should be able to add more kalk without it just precipitating and ending up on the bottom.
I have a lid on the ATO reservoir so that should, in my mind, keep the CO2 from causing problems.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks!
