So When I finally setup an ATO last month I switched to using Kalkwasser in my top off water. Before I was using buffers to maintain alk, ph and mag and had it down fairly well so that my numbers remained fairly even on a day to day basis. But after switching to Kalk all my numbers keep dropping except calc which has slowly been rising. I have only been using about 1.5 teaspoons of Kalk in a 5g bucket though, so there is room for me to add more if need be.
Although it doesnt appear that I have enough growth or corals to take up the extra calc if I do use more Kalk in the top off, so trying to decide if I should just go back to using buffers until I have more sps and lps in the tank or should I continue with the Kalk and just increase the amount used in each bucket to try and keep other numbers in line? Or maybe keep using the Kalk but add a bit of buffers to it as well?
Any thoughts?
