I am totally new to the world of kalkwasser and i was hoping for a little guidance. I recently set up a 20 gallon rubbermaid trash can as a top-off resevoir. I fill it about 3/4 full with r/o water. The can is plumbed to a kent float valve in the sump...i'm pretty impressed with it so far, it keeps the sump level absolutely stable. I'm not sure how long one fill will last, as i just hooked this up a couple of days ago, but i'm guessing at around two weeks (i was losing about a gallon a day before).
My question is, could i mix kalk in the trash can and dose with the top-off, or would two weeks be too long to have the stuff sitting in the can? I've got a small powerhead circulating the water in the can right now...would this help?
Or, should i just set up a separate container for the kalk and just set a slow drip rate?
