Best Kalk Mix and Feeding Filter Feeders..

[cj10488]

Ok I am going to buy some Kalk mix tomorrow and wanted to know what kind I should get.. I was looking at Seachem's Kalk but there is a few other brands out there.

Which one would be the best to use.. I hear Kent is different than most and so on so Forth.. Please Advise.. Also what would you recommend feeding Filter Feeders..


TIA,
James

Save some money, buy Mrs Wages Pickleing lime if you can find it Same thing at a mere fraction of the cost. If not check with a chemical supply house for Calcium Hydroxide.

I cannot find the pickling lime anywhere locally.. The only Chemical supply house is about 5 hours away... I will check around some more and see if i can find the pickling lime... Any other suggestions..


TIA,

I use 1 tsp per gallon of the Balls Pickling Lime

I would start at 1 teaspoon per gallon and go from there, I should mention this is what I would recommend for LFS kalk as well. So if your dosing LFS Kalk now, just start with the same amount.
