hmmm that a good question - I have always added it to the back area of my tank, adding part one, allowing the pumps to circulate it for a few minutes & then adding part two
I have been adding one teaspoon Kalkwasser to 5 gallons of my ro/di top-off & using BRS two part & magnesium - if this helps any
Kent Marine Kalkwasser
BRS 2 Part Calcium & Alkalinity Kit (Pre-portioned) - Bulk Reef Supply
see what others think...

any one have suggestions
using Steve t media rack with white/blue floss purigen and chemi-pure elite i clean my floss daily and change it weekly yet the flow is still getting choked up with both pumps running which in turn almost overflows my tank with r/o water
should i be cleaning my chemipure and purigen daily as well if so that's a PITA to pull all that equipment out but something needs to change

I don't clean my chemipure or purigen
Let me ask you this... do you run a chiller? How many gallons of topoff water are you adding each week?

Do you "hang" your cpe?
In this shot... it looks like your in display tank surface skimmer cup, is almost all the way down (I can see lots of teeth), I always ran mine the exact opposite, almost all the way up... with in 1/4" of it's top position & sw added to raise the water levels...

I use a little battery-operated feeder with pellets when I go away for more than a day or two...
This is the one I bought.
Eheim Feed Air Automatic Feeder

If you feed right before your leave (and do a wc) and then someone can feed even once like 5 days latter, they should be fine - they can go a few days without food occasionally

well new pumps are installed working good so far.
some micro bubble issues on the lower hanging pump.
only issues i have thus far with it are the cords they are too fat to fit in the channel nicely, i had to snip the pinch points near the electrical box opening to get them to fit and the cords are not long enough to be able to put the electrical box cover on.

Thanks for the review !
