I have a Anemone dominant tank with only a few other soft corals so Calcium and Alk have been easy to maintain with Kalk in the makeup water. I have always used BRS kalk and had no complaints. I use 1 teaspoon per gallon and levels are spot on.
One thing I have had trouble with is PH would be between 7.8-8.1 which seemed ok and many of the posts I have read recommend not to spend too much time chasing it.
I just ordered an Avast marine Plank feeder and they happened to have Kalk on sale and I needed it so thought Kalk is kalk right. Well Appearently I am wrong. Their kalk mixes better (less undissolved kalk going down the drain) and now my PH is 8.1-8.3! Has anyone else observed differences in the brand of Kalk that they purchase?
