Can I mix up kalk just enough to raise pH and not have it alter alkalinity or calcium?
Thanks, I was able to peg the alkalinity to 9.0 but the trace elements was the reason I stotand went back to AFR. I figured their might be a way to use a low mix solution of kalkwasser that didn't impact dkh or ca.
Any other product that could be recommended alongside all for reef to raise or help boost pH?

Thanks Randy and thanks to others for the answers. If only kalkwasser had all the trace elements like AFR.There is no product, even theoretically, that can be added to boost pH and not all.
Is that supposed to be "alk" or "all"?There is no product, even theoretically, that can be added to boost pH and not all.
Your salt mix has trace elementsThanks Randy and thanks to others for the answers. If only kalkwasser had all the trace elements like AFR.
How can you add Hydroxide ionsKalk doesn't always raise pH. Just saying.
It did for me but was limited. It would bottom out at a low of 8.03ish and some days hit 8.3 but I was in a doser to peg the ALK at 9 which was great but had to go back to AFR for the traces. Id kept dosing kalk but only have 2 versas and using TM A and k traces wouldn't work unless I had a 3rd doser.Kalk doesn't always raise pH. Just saying.

Like Randy said it may not “noticeably” raise it. I didn't notice it so in my feeble mind it didn't raise it. I don't monitor so I can't see graphs. I have 3 tanks running in single story home. One I was dosing 7200 ml fully saturated kalk daily over 24hrs. Any time I tested all 3 tanks had identical pH so in my mind kalk was not raising pH.How can you add Hydroxide ions
And pH doesn't go up?
That doesn't even make sense
Ah, if you add an acid at the same time. Figured it out
