Aquarium Advice Freak
So, I'm confused. I was a little scared of using kalk, because I don't want to screw anything up. But, I've decided that it doesn't really matter, I need to use it for the benefit of my tank. So my questions are these:
1) Does having a calcium reactor (aragonite substrate-based) replace the need for dosing with kalk?
2) If they do the same thing, is one better than the other, and why?
3) (The rogue off-subject question) If I want an all-out reef tank, what tests do you recommend? So far I've seen Ca, Mg, and Alk. I currently have pH, Alk, NH3/NH4, NO2, NO3, Ca, PO4, NO4 ... and the kit came with some sample supplements: Calcium, Molbybdenum, Trace elements, Strontium, Iodine, and "Green" (which is nutrients for marine algae).
Thanks! =]
