I have reading to do. When I got started, read about kalkwasser and thought, "this has to be outdated" and went no further (also just had nanos with water changes), so I've got zero knowledge of how to employ it. Something to keep me busy in June!

I decided to try Kalkwasser when I started the tank mainly because I liked the idea of only have to dose one thing for alk and Ca.
I started using jugs I pre-mixed and thought it had potential until I was replacing a jug a day. So, I made my own stirrer; so stoked I did.
There is a lot more material on it now; unsurprisingly, a BRS video turned me onto it. I think a $4 bag of pickling lime feeds my tank for the better part of 1/2 a year.
It'll work for a nano too; probably don't need a stirrer. You could get along fine with premixed jugs.

Kalkwasser stirrer in action!
This is the ParlaStir Kalkwasser stirrer being given away as a May giveaway at ParlAquatics!More details here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/may-giveaway...

The controller allows rest/runtime configuration but I'll set it up similar to mine which keeps the water at peek saturation while avoiding 'pucking' and attempting to not over-stir (and reduce effectiveness).
*makes less noise when filled with solution but it is a beefy motor so I hear mine outside the stand.*
