hi all, i am a first time reef keeper and i recently set up a kalkwasser drip that drops into my sump. i adjusted the check valve so that it would drip at a rate of one drop per second like i have read in many kalkwasser drip posts and articles. i made my drip out of a one gallon plastic container. in a little more than a day, it has all dropped successfully into my sump and into the tank.
my question is, how long should i wait before i begin the next drip? should i immediately make another batch of kalk and start dripping immediately? or should i wait a few days, or a week? i have a 100 gallon tank, im running a fluval 304 filter, a wet/dry sump, and ill be adding a protein skimmer pretty soon. right now, there are two tiny clowns and two small green chromis. i have two small mushroom corals, and a little batch of button polyps about the size of a silver dollar.
any help advice would be really appreciated. thanks.
