| Re: Lime water mixing of makeup water? Kalkwasser is a means to add alkalinity and calcium to your tank this is usually done by the drip method about a gallon at a time to replenish your evaporated water. Approximately 1 teaspoon mixed well and allowed to settle before adding to your tank. This can raise your PH Quickly so maintain a slow drip! Last edited by jvharding; 03-20-2007 at 06:08 PM. |
