am setting up my 30 gallon sps dominate tank and plan to use my tunze ato at night (help with the ph swing) on a timer to top off a kalk and vinegar combo. at first i plan to just run ro water in the top off till i figure out how much top off i need daily then mix the kalk and vinegar in the top off. i have a few questions.
1 does this seem like a good plan?
2 how much vinegar should i start off with on a daily basis? i plan to do the math so this will be dosed in a proper concentration with the top off
3 what is a good way to calculate how much kalk i will need daily?

Are you planning on dosing 2 part as well? The vinegar is used to achieve super saturation, but won't be necessary with other means of cal/alk dosing

i have brs kalk starter kit so i have it all. i do not plan to super saturate the kalk solution. the vinegar in the top off is mostly for the bacteria the ph reduction is a added bonus.
