Hi,
I just started dosing Kalkwasser and also using two part. I have successfully increased both my calcium levels and magnesium to where I want them (420 and 1320 ppm). My Alk is a little low right (7.2 dKh) now but will continue adjusting.
My system is set-up to do autowater changes of about 2% of the water volume everyday. This water is pumped into my quarantine tank where it overflows into a reservoir and is pumped out automatically.
What I was wondering is if I could actually get away just boosting the Ca, Alk and Mg in the salt water reservoir when I make it which lasts about 2 weeks and stopping dosing the Kalk, Ca, Mg and Alk in the aquarium. The reservoir lasts about 2 weeks. This would be much simpler than having two reservoirs (ATO and Kalk to manage). Any disadvantages besides not having the pH boost of Kalk at night?
Thanks,
Dave
