I'm going to start using Kalk from BRS, is this the correct parameters and way
So after doing a water change 8/21 using Fritz Salt (First time use of this salt, came from reef crystals)
I monitored my PH, CA, MG (per Kalk instructions) and amount of water that evaporates
My PH when lights are on 8.15 off 7.7
CA since water change 8/21 is 470-500
MG since water change 8/21 is 1410-1470
Water that evaporated from 8/21-8/31 = 5 Gallon (RODI water container)
All tests are done using salifert test kits, and done every 2 days (except PH)
TDS level using Digital Aid TDS-EC is 1
My tank is 40G Breeder with tons of zoas, a couple of euphyllias, a couple of SPS, mushrooms, two RBTA, 6 lines wrasse, Mandarin Goby, Starry Blenny, tons of CUC
My sump is 10 G with refugium in the middle so I think I’m between 45-47 gallons of water. In the sump I have chemipure elite and purigen where the pump is.
In addition I am running a Seachem Phosguard reactor which is not really helping since I still have a little bit of GNA.
I am running a skimmer 70% max
Tank has been running for more than a year
I water change between 2-3 weeks.
So here’s my question. The 5 gallon Container I’m planning on using it as ATO with the Kalk mixed in.
Do I start with the 2 teaspoons per gallon ? or start with 1 tsp per G?
