Large volume Kalkwasser storage

[PPBlimpy]

Can I mix/store 60-100g of kalk water at a time?

Will be using pickling lime.

Completely random guess but i am thinking if I mixed at 50% I would be dosing 1.5-2g daily.
So this reservoir should late 20-40 days depending which way I go with.

In the end how much / day doesn’t matter, this is about long term storage.

Recently upgraded my mixed reef system from 150g to 380g total volumes. Tank is mostly LPs, softies, and lots of nems

Now upgrading my mixing station and adding kalk storage. I have 2 60g barrels and a 100g barrel I have collected for this.

Thinking 100g fresh Rodi wa pairs to 60g salt mix barrel and then a 60g kalk storage.

I am doing a large water change on the new system and been tracking everything. So going to start dosing soon one I have been tracking.

Can I mix and store kalk like this? For this long?
Or should I just do full strength- may extend storage to having to mix every month but would make my mixing easier.

What have you guys done?
Tank is filling out. Coralline is growing everywhere. And plans for a lot more corals since I have a lot more room

Sorry this is kind of all over the place. Haven’t had coffee yet

@Randy Holmes-Farley should be able assist. When I used kalk I mixed it in a brute container but didn't store it long term. I just added several gallons at a time to keep it full then cleaned the sludge out every few months.
