Good-looking setup!I use BRS two part system and then run vodka, peroxide, Acropower, and Microbater7
Embarrassed why? Your tank looks awesome. How many drops of kalkwasser are you putting in?Okay... you asked for it
What is it? Improvised Dosing Device (IDD) made from used plastic bottles and Intravenous dripper purchased from local pharmacy. Very precise (20 drips equal to 1 ml), I can drip a litre of liquid for two weeks continuously. Major element well maintained (calcium 400ppm, dKh 8, magnesium 1380ppm). So far all inhabitants are happy.

Yeah I was going to save money and add it directly to.my ato reservoir but didn't want the crumb matter in there, so bought a kalkwasser dripper that sits to the side and drops it into the sump. Hopefully it will not affect my ato sensors that way.I used to add kalkwasser periodically to my float-valve run ATO, but as I get precipitate (ATO is uncovered) that seems to jam up the float valve, I plan on switching to a separate dosing system. My plan is to buy a 2 quart glass milk jug and run it as a gravity-fed system (simple, no pump) with a bit of vinegar added. I need to review the video to make sure the cap is big enough for 2 holes and tubing.

I dose seachem products like carbonatos and reef plus and Mg from Kent and they have all my parameters stable kh 11 Ca 440 Mg 1350 and all my reef look good.
Newbie question but why do you have to dose all those things individually? Is there nothing that has it all combined or is it better to do it that way?This is my dosing system for my 150 Gal mixed reef.
All of my containers are transparent or translucent. They are calibrated in mLs so I can visually see each day how much of each was actually delivered. Having had the experience of a “doser gone wild” or stopping, this helps me to visually see the amount delivered. My dosing chart (see below) informs me of the amount that should be remaining after each dosing period.
The containers are back lit to make them easier to read.

BRS Dosers are very goodAlso I have an apex but the dosing system is pricey. What another good dosing system?
I looked at trition....can't do it.
Kalkwasser takes care of my carbonate and calcium.
Is there nothing like that that will add the strontium, magnesium and the trace elements like iodine, iron and molybdenum?
