Dosing Alk and Ca in ATO?

[saltwater4life1]

I've been dosing Alk in my ATO and i was wondering can i add Ca in my ATO or should i not mix the two?
Thanks,

You will get more precipitation in your ATO container thus lots of waste, and if you get some kind of aqualifter pump for ATO like I do then it will malfunction.

However I do add magnesium and Iodine to my ATO, but neither precipitates and it easily dissolves so its ok.

Hmm... yeah i use an aqualifter pump so i should probably stop dosing alk in there let alone ca? But will it be fine to mix my dosage together like if i drip dose?

You can't mix them, but you generally can dose one or the other that way, and the best choice for that is the alkalinity part, since it is more immediately needed each day. :)
