    Need ideas for dosing kalk or alternatives. TIA

    Greetings. Well, I have to wait until the new tank arrives to take some measurements to see what I can fit under the tank. I will have to fill the auto top off manually, which I don't mind doing. I will need a good size container to hold the water with kalk, the float switch and a dosing...

    Greetings. My 46 gal. bow front by All-Glass, has just sprung a leak to the bottom-back of the tank. I'm in the process of removing the water and everything else to see where is it coming from. Is there any way of telling as to where exactly at the bottom seam it is leaking? Or should I just...
