I don't relish the idea of continuing this much longer.

LOLOLOL!!!!! Hahahaha!!!!!
Really!
Anywhoo! General rule of thumb is 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Kalk powder (aka pickling lime) to one gallon of ro/di water. Shake well. Let sit for about 1 to 2 hours and decant the clear liquid. Use just the clear liquid to dose your reef. I have Kalk for all my top off water, but start slower than that. Top it off at nite to begin. Drip it in and start with a half gallon or less. Increase as you need to until you arrive at where you want to be. _________  I Love My Sig By John Hawkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!
