Correcting the levels only holds for a short time and 400 is the highest calcium level I've been able to maintain recently, but it used to be lower.

250grams of kalk disappear into the tank every week and there is no precipitation on pumps or heaters.

The dinos have armor plates. I wonder what those are made of. (Edit: It's cellulose C6 H10 O5).
Yes. I dose 2 part via brs dosers and kalk through ATO and I can't get my Ca above 380 and my alk above 7.5 dkh. No precipitation on pumps/heaters here either. I just recently started the kalk, and I almost doubled the 2 part dose( 96 ml per day of each part, up from 55 ml), the only parameter that changed was my pH went up about .2.
