Just curious about the amount of kalkwasser that I'm dosing
This is a new tank (2 months cycled after 4 month fish cycle)
Waterbox 135.4 (maybe 120gallons of total water volume)
I'm dosing 157.7 ml/hour of saturated brs pharma kalk with a Kamor X1 Pro (about 1 gallon/day of saturated kalk, 2 tsp/gallon)
I want to increase the dose to try and raise my PH, but seems like I'm already dosing a lot of kalk for a tank that just has a few fish and no corals. I'm just now starting to see some coralline algae.
current parameters:
Ca: 453
dKH: 9.7
PO4: 0.0
NO3: 22.9 (over feeding via AFS) its turned off now
PH: 7.8 to 8.15
Here's what my tank looks like now.![IMG_2881.jpg IMG_2881.jpg](https://test.reef2reef.com/data/attachments/2559/2559173-9cc92456a104a69e8e5ecc219f4be493.jpg)
