I have a Tunze 3155.00 Osmolator Automatic Water Top Off System, ANd would like to Start doseing Alk/Cal, Can it be done with the ATO?

Another option i was looking at is a Kent drip system...

Any advice would be great.

You can't use alk / cal solution as top off. What you can do, however, is use kalk as your top off which will supplement both alk and cal. Either way, you would have to monitor your pH, alk and cal to make sure they stay consistently / stable within the range.

Most ato systems can't dose in small enough amounts for calc & alk. Plus the two solutions aren't recommended to be mixed together. Also, I tried a Kent drip system for calc and found couldnt get it accurate enough

Does you alk and calc and then use Kalk in your ato to keep your levels in range
