Thats why I made this thread because I don't know how much to dose and I use kalkwasser and I dont know my daily consumptions anymore as I just increase the amount of kalkwasser added per day to meet demand of alkalinity.
And I dont use a scale I just added 2 tbsp per gallon into a 5 gallon bucket that I dose from

Presumably you know the volume of kalk. That’s why I posted the calculator: to get the calcium added per day.

Okay I think I figured it out. I put in my alk consumption which is 0.2 giving me the 6.6L per day. Then got my calcium is 1.4ppm per day. Taking 10% of that is 0.14ppm of Mg per day which would be 2.92mL of brightwell magnesion-p a day. Thanks
