Kalkwasser or liquid

Javen · Oct 29, 2015

I am about to have a lot of corals so I was wondering what would be better the kalkwasser or the liquid calcium. I would also like someone to explain the kalkwasser,and why they use it. What are it pros and cons

I believe the kalkwasser provides stable calcium and ALK supplementation.
Calcium liquid is just calcium
I say go for the kalkwasser ! It is simple to use and works great

Imo i have seen far greater growth and colors with kalk. However the problem arises when you have a very demanding tank, lets say with full grown sticks and clams. You would have to dose so much kalk its ridiculous, however you can always use vinager to "turbo charge" the kalk and essentially dose less. But as you can see most amazing tanks here all use 2parts of some sort, or bulk calcium and alk. So its up to you. If i could on my current tank , i would use kalk, however since i have to top of my tank by hand since i have no room for a ato i use 2part. GL

I detail the pros and cons of all of the primary methods of calcium and alkalinity supplementation here:
