Kalkwasser Trace Elements

[TheSheff]

I am getting back on the kalkwasser train and am debating what trace element solution to dose. Im hoping to find a solution that is only one part. What do yall use?

I have been using seachem reef and trace. I don't know of anything that is an all in one. Typically there are at least 2 parts that need added.

Are you asking 1. which brand of kalkwasser people are using or 2. what trace elements to adding conjunction?

If 1. Mrs wages pickling lime. I have been using it for 20 years.

If 2. Nothing. I run along a side a calcium reactor and do a small weekly water change.

I use kalkwasser with tropic marin a & k

Don't dose any trace elements! Do a 5% water change twice a month.

I dose Kalk and use Fauna Marin Multi elements A and B as it was made for use with Kalk or Calcium reactor so it does not have ALK or Calcium in it and i use 16ml of each per week for a 215 gal total water volume tank

Anybody used Isol8 MT ?

that may be “adequate”, or not, but it cannot hope to maintain fast depleting trace elements such as iron and manganese at levels found in the salt mix.

Yeah I assume that totally depends on the brand of salt mix too
