Kalkwasser (adding Calcium and keeping your Alk levels up)
Posted December 15th, 2006 by Ryan
The easiest way in my opinion to keeping your calcium and alk levels stable is by dosing kalk. Kalkwasser is really just calcium hydroxide. The way I do this is thru my auto top off device. Kalkwasser is great because it raises your PH, this is really good for me since I have naturally low PH. You can pick up the addition for the Osmolator for around $90, plus the initial unit. This is a great way to keep your levels stable, your corals happier. Just expect to be scrapping off a lot of coraline algae.
