2 gallons?

 

[sasquatch]

My extraordinary powers of extrapolation are telling me that theres a saturation point?

 

[Woodstock]

Congrats Sassy!
I would mix 1 teaspoon of kalk per gallon of fresh water. Try that for a week or so and test your calcium/PH daily.

Thanks Woody! seems youve received to much karma for "now" Ill start off with that and see where it goes, I got confused with the reactors and dumping in a 1/2 lb lol.

I second Woody, I add about 1/2 gal of that mix at night before bed...I have an IV drip that I use at a med rate, kind of a slow trickle, if it gets too slow it clogs up the tube...you might need to add more as your system,s bigger than my 75...

 

[DaBird]

Sorry Steve, I misread your post...What Woody said.....

 

[sasquatch]

Houston! We have confirmation, proceed to countdown

I'm gonna pray for your fish.
Sounds like my grandma's cooking... pinch of this handful of that. Whatever happened to microlitres and nano ounces?

 

[sasquatch]

Victor you got's to get with it man! all the kids are doing it, dripping is cool

 

[vdituri]

LOL. First dripping, then reefing. What other kinds of ing you gonna try and get me into. Oh no. I don't have time for a what is it? A 130 gallon drip monster? I just got my 55 up and running smoothly. I don't have enough time for 100+ tank. I haven't even refuged or sumped yet!
( as you can see I'm in the denial stage)

Using kalk is a piece of cake... I had many panic attacks when I first started but it was easy... Start slow and do many many many test and change the dosage until the kalk does all the work for you... At first i tested daily , the last few months i havent tested at all.

Kalk? What is this mysterious wonder drug? Is it something a Noob lime Me needs to be involved in?

A.

 

[Woodstock]

There is no telling where my reef would be without kalk.... not near as healthy as it is now for sure~

 

[Warnberg]

Actually, you if you let everything settle (kalk powder) you can mix as much as you want (kalk powder in RO/DI water). That is why you want to use the clear liquid on top, that is considered saturated kalk.

All of my topoff water is saturated kalk water, with no ill effects.
