Aquarium Advice Addict
I don't have a whole lot of Corals absorbing calcium so a need for a lot of supplement is not necessary. I am using reef crystals tested calcium at about 370ppm I want to get it up to about 400 or more for optimum coraline growth and to help out my favia brain coral. I bought a 2.5gallon Kent Aquadose pretty much a plastic jug with an IV drip line. I am using it to help minimize the work of topping off due to evaporation.
The 2.5gallon jug drips into my return pump zone of my sump/fuge I have it on a slow drip like 1drip per second.
I added some Kent Kalkwasser powder 3 teaspoons to the 2.5g of RO/DI water in the jug. The directions stated 1/8teaspoon to 2teaspoons per gallon of water. about 1/4teaspoon to 5teaspoons max for the jug. With the 3 teaspoons I added and a slow drip I am wondering what this will do to my calcium.
I will be testing Calcium/Alkalinity every 2 days to see where I am at. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I could not use any Kalkwasser next time or more depending on how it turns out.
