I'm getting back into the hobby with my first 200 gallon system and am getting into corals and their care. I have all Hydros controllers. I need a recommendation for dosing pump and control. I have a bag of Kalkwasser on it's way and am looking for the right way to dose it in my system. I was watching a youtube with Carlos and David about the 2ml dosing pump and quickly learned that wasn't the right solution (they said definitely don't use that dosing pump for Kalkwasser). So now I don't know what I should be using. Any suggestions?

You wont need to dose until you understand how much your corals are taking up. Once you get your tank up and running/cycled and you get around to putting corals in, you will know what you need by regular water testing.

Tank is up, corals are in. Checking PH is 7.98 and waiting for Hanna Calcium and Alk checkers to come in .

I started my 210 up recently with a medium ice cap Kalk reactor and use a kamoer x1. The kamoer draws from a 20g brute that I refill once every 10 days or so. I have it replacing my evaporation rate and have had no issues.
