Where is the best place to get kalk? What are the best test kits to use when using klak? Is it as smple as mixing kalk in ro/di water and then adding (slowly) that to the sump? any good threads or links that will help me learn more about kalk? Thanks you guys are a great help. I read...

About a month ago, the kalk was low in my reactor, and I had no more, so I ran to the LFS store for some more. I do not remember the old brand I was using, but what I bought was Seachem Reef kalkwasser. I completely emptied the kalk out of my reactor since it was time for a cleaning, and...

Walmart has there canning stuff out for the year, along with "Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime" for 1.92 or so per lb. Maybe the stores in your area will have the same. Just FYI. :)

just wondering are Majano anemonia are they just as bad as aiptasia because i have about 10 are 15 Majano anemonia and they seem not to bug any other corals and i like the green color they have but if they are really bad for my tank sould they be zapped out of my tank???

So what are the advantages /disadvantages comparatively speaking? I know thw nilson reguires no co2 tank, regulator etc, but what else? Robert

In hopes of jump starting the coraline, hopefully getting rid of the diatom and hair algea from cycling, I started my kalk drip today. I got one of those kent 1400ml drip kits, its pretty basic stuff, and ball pickling lime. Question.... when you mix up the pickling lime, how do you know you...

Ok.. I have, what I have finally identified as digitata hydroids, popping up ALL OVER my rocks. At first I thought they looked kindof cool, before I knew they sting things. Now, I think they are gross and I want to get rid of them. I made the mistake of trying to get one off the rock and little...

I've tried most anything... injecting with kalk, injecteing with the high pH Calcium part B...etc. Finally took some other advice and made a paste of pickling Lime, placed it in a syringe with a large gauge needle. I stabbed the boogers and then laid a blob of paste on their hole in the rock...

Just added a Kalk drip system to my tank. I'm in the big-time now. :p I'll report back on how long it takes me to go through a gallon. Any suggestions on how long a gallon should take to be added to 38 gallon system? I'm thinking one gallon per weekish? Anyways probably not that important...

I found it at Walmart today in the canning section. The ladies working there didn't know what it was but pointed me to the canning area and viola! Ball Pickling Lime... $1.47 for a 16 oz jar. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else wanted to get kalk at grocery store prices. :)

Hi can someone tell me why my RedSea Phosphate test kit reads 0.5 phosphates when I test the Kent kalkwasser solution I make up for evaporation? My ro water reads zero,Does Kent Marine Kalkwasser have phosphates in it???? Casey:beer:

I know I'm being cheap, but for those that dose... I recently read that pickling lime and Kalkwasser have the same essential ingredient (calcium hydroxide). Further, that pickling lime can be used in the place of Kalkwasser as a calcium supplement. The main advantage of Kalkwasser is that it...

Well, I've been learning tons from this board, thanks for all the good reading! I've been using a 2 part calcium set for years and after reading a few threads on TRT decided to switch to Kalk to help elevate my ph some. I thought I would maintain CA levels with the kalk and touchup...
