Low Calcium / Kalkwasser?

c0mf0rt · Jul 24, 2021

So I'm dosing baking soda to keep my Alk in check. I measured my calcium today though and it's at 200. Should I dose with a strictly calcium supplement or will Kalkwasser be my answer? I do plan on going kalkwasser long term going forward either way.

TIA

Yes, you should bring your calcium up with a calcium only supplement like calcium chloride. Kalkwasser will add both calcium and alkalinity and can be used to maintain but not raise a single element (like calcium).

You may want to look into the 2 part recipes offered by Randy that will allow your alkalinity and calcium to remain balanced when dosed equally.
