Curt,

I've never personally tried this, but many reefers add vinegar to kalkwasser - for a few reasons. One being that it lowers the pH of the solution - by doing this, more calcium (hydroxide) is dissolved into the solution.

Take a look at these articles:

>Kalkwasser - In Depth<

>Kalkwasser<

> Expanding the Limits of Limewater: Adding Organic Carbon Sources<

HTH!!
