My Tank Thread
I want to make sure I understand.
Kalkwasser is just limewater, which is saturated calcium hydroxide yes? Dosing it will add alk to the system and also temporarily increase the pH. That increased pH is quite beneficial to coral growth, therefore spurring them to consume more alk in the process.
Surely, though, this process results in a net increase in alk, right?
Yes.
