I'm tired of dripping kalk and want to just top off with kalk water. How fast can pH rise and not harm anything? For example if the pH is 8.0 and I add a gallon of kalk it will rise to about 8.4 but I'm assuming that would shock the animals/corals pretty bad. But when I drip kalk at about 1-2 drops a second during the day the pH gets to around 8.5 which from what I read isn't very healthy either. I'll probably hook up a float switch/bucket system soon but am going on vacation for 2 weeks and won't have time before so I"m figuring out how my neighbor can do this the easiet way....guess she'll just have to set up a gallon to drip everynight?
