So I have officially passed the point of Kalk being able to maintain my Calcium and Alk. I am dosing about 10 ml a day (spread out of course) of Fusion 2 to keep my alk up around 8.4-8.5. My question, is now that I am past that point is it worth continuing with Kalkwasser, or should I just go full two part?

i was at the same place as you and went straight ahead with 2-part. many still run Kalk along the way too. completely a personal choice and if you feel like its been working well i'd keep rocking it in addition to the 2-part :)

I use both. Kalk is simple and cheap so I always run that, then add 2 part as demand increases.

Same here. In my mind 2 ways of getting Alk and Cal in to the tank is better than one, and then there’s the pH. Kalk is so simple I would always dose it.
