Saturated Kalk solution vs. BRS Calcium/Alk solution conversion...

[TylerHaworth]

Does anyone have an approximate conversion between saturated Kalk solution and the BRS Alk/Cal solution?

For example... If I'm currently dosing 100mL per day of Calcium and Alk, how much Kalk solution would that be?

The DIY recipe using baked baking soda (or sodium carbonate) as sold by BRS is about 45 times more potent than saturated limewater.

FWIW, one could use this calculator for such conversions:

Ahh I see... So I'd need to dose roughly 2.25L of saturated Kalk water to be equivalent of 50mL Alk and 50mL Calcium... Wow.
