DIY Drip for Kalk

mpls_gazer · 10-20-2003, 09:24 AM

OK I have a small tank (38 Gallon). See my link below.

I'm looking for a way to make like a 20 oz kalk drip system for my reef tank. Thinking about dosing 20 oz over like 12 hours. Anyone done this? I know it's probably super simple but I just can't think of a way to do it.

Thanks

PS More explanation needed?

Thank duder. Being that I work at a hospital I may be able to use some expired equipment.

Peace,

I add my kalk with my topoff water: a 7 gallon bucket, with 2 tsps of kalk, into my sump with a float switch. When the topoff bucket is about 1/4 full, I want to replenish it. Do I have to empty the bucket (which now has water, white crud on the bottom, and white skim on the top)? Or can I just add fresh DI water and 2 more tsps of kalk?

Hello! I have some new IV drips without the bag's that can be added to just about any container. I think I have like 6 left. kemp I would be willing to trade one, or possibally just send one too ya' message me and well go from there. You will be dripping very soon.

I gather from some additional reading that it is okay to mix it in the same buck et a few times, but it is best to clean it out before too long.

I only clean my kalk bucket out about 3 times a year.
