Help needed with maintaining Alk/ Cal levels in Biocube 29

just get some cal and alk solution and put it in your tank as needed it doesn't matter what kind it is

 

I grabbed some Kent Tech CB A & B to just bring the levels up for the time being since it was cheap and easy to get from my LFS, but I'm going to look for a longer term solution.

I hate manual dosing because I am often away for a few days at a time, so I need something automated that won't break the bank.

 

well the only thing I know that works without worry in a cal reactor and that cost a little bit of cash but in a 29g just putting in by hand is I think best

 

If you are willing to do the set up, you can use dosing pumps and timers. BRS has some videos on them.

 

The cheapest dosing pump that I know of is the jebao

I am thinking about giving this unit a try on my 12 gallon when I get it up and running.

 

BRS dosing pumps are relatively inexpensive, especially if you get them on sale or a group buy. You just need those, two timers, calcium, and baking soda.
