I dose kalk and add CaCl as needed to balance things out, the kalk alone seems to raise my alk a bit too much in relation to my Ca, the CaCl straightens it right out.
Great FTS JFK! Looks amazing as always... | Not to highjack JFKs chronicle, but I have a dedicated tank room ventilated to the outlside for heat dissipation, so the extra AO2 didn't accumulate. I don't have a calcium reactor hooked up anymore. The only animals I have that need much are 1 clam and 2 acros.
I agree with you on the tank. JFK, those acros are SICK! (my kids say that's a good thing?!)
