| Hi Vin . . . .
Yeah I loved my Deltec stirrer . . . . it takes all hard work out of dosing kalk. No, I do not add any more additives . . . . buffer or calcium. I think how long it needs reloading largly depends on how your dosing it / timer / top up switch / or like me a PH computer. Myself and best mate both have them and I need to replace the kalk every week (6 tea spoon fulls) and clean the unit out. But I have a heavily dominated SPS tank. My mate has a FO with a few softies and replaces it once a month but then he hasn't got a tank full of corals sucking calcium out of the water every day.
HTH buddy. PM me if you need more advice
