Hello Reef2Reef!
I'm looking into complimenting my calcium reactor by adding some kalkwasser. My pH is dropping too low at nighttime and I think the kalk would be a great way to suck up some of that excess CO2 and bring my pH up. I have heavily aerated water and reverse daylight algae already so I believe this is a necessity. I have just changed the timing on my calcium reactor as well to further help my pH problems. Its only on now from 10am to 6pm. I also like the Ca that kalk will add for my lps because so far only a few days into the calcium reactor being off for 2/3 of the day my calcium has been dropping slowly (my alk has been steady still).
What kalk stirrer or doser should I buy? I always seem to buy the wrong equiptment and then have to upgrade. All advise is appreciated.
What is the best procedure for adding kalk as far as timing or amounts or anything? Do I have the right thinking about this topic? Is there a better alternative I am overlooking?
All constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly for your time.
