I need something more than the amount of kalk I can drip as my top off. Does it waste kalk to mix more than 2 tsp in with the water, keep it swirled, and pour it in slowly in a high flow area? Also, Kent two part is too pricy for me to want to buy. Is there something that can be added like that, but costs less? It looks like to drip them at the same rate will cost over $200 for the drip alone. Lastly, how important is it to monitor mag when dripping kalk?

Yes, more than 2 tsp in gallon of fresh water will just sit at mud on the bottom. A two part with it is a fine way to go. :)

I want to print the information on the link, but it cuts the page off. Is this in a printable form somewhere?

I don't think there is a different format available, but if you post the question in the feedback forum, I'm expect folks there can help you get it to print in a readable fashion. :)
