Got kalk ?

What levels are you really looking to get to?? They look perfect to me where they are sitting now.

As of 11 am CA 450 ppm Alk 9.3 this as high as i would like the CA.
Which is the easiest way to maintain now? Drip kalk or continue w/2 parter

 

Either is Ok, which ever works the best for you, as both are balanced additives. Obviously the 2-part is the easiest to do, as long as things stay in line. 2-parts will also be more costly. What is nice about the kalk is that it removes CO2, so there is usually less of a day/night pH fluctuation. The other issue is the demand, which ever you choose the kinetics/demand may dictate that you need to add both, to keep the Ca and Alk where you want it. Many nave had to do this.

 

Now I thank you again boomer.
You should come around more often.

 

If forgot or did you already post this ?

I did somewhere.
I dislike all the nco 2 ndk3n4 stuff (chemical compouds) it means nothing to me and I think it confused more then help us average reefers.
I start reading Randy's articles and when he is explaining something with the chemical charts and letter combos my brain just shuts off and I can't keep reading I don't know if any other here feel this way but it effects me this way.

 

Thanks Boomer ill try kalk see how it goes,Im hoping it works for me as the 2 parts are costly compared to kalk

 

Nugio CalxMax is better and you only use it every other day. unlike b-ionic everyday and not quit as good materials.

 

Nugio how is it coming along my friend?

 

As of today: Levels are right where i want them CA is 425ppm ALK is 8.9.Gonig to try to maintain w/ kalk now.
