How do I use Kalkwasser

Jasontkd · 05-30-2005, 08:31 PM

hey, all, i want to start using kalkwasser in my 20 gallon and 180 gallon because i am not getting the coraline I want. Anyhow, how do i use it. The directions I have read say stuff about how much to use and how much per hour and all that. Anyone got any simple directions?

Yea just mix some up and let it sit overnite the pour off the clear stuff into your drip container and set it at a slow drip and let it drip in the sump all night.

what about auto top off, will that put too much in at one time?

No I do auto top off also.

yes that will give way too much. you want a drip because it is saturated.

Tim I drip at night once a week and the rest is auto top off with liquid calcium added so far so good.I think the clams and sps eat it up
