Kalk help,

Barcochris · 05-14-2007, 11:55 AM

I am now going to need to go to some sort or drip device for Kalk. The only problem is I don't understand it. I am going to be using it because of the three clams that are on the way. The Miss Waggels Lime is what I have a boat load of. Can anybody help me? I need info on mixing and using,

Thanks

I personally would recomend either th e IV tube drip method or an auto top off unit hooked to a small dosing pump if you have a larger tank.

Ok, That explains a lot. but one more question. How do i mix it? I know I mix lime and fresh water and agitate it then let it settle and only use the clear. how much do I use of the lime to five gallons for fresh water?

Humm... try mixing 1 teaspoon of powder per 1 gallon of fresh water. Stir then sit to settle.
