    Wondering if anyone doses kalk+2?
    If so, how do you like it?
    How does it preform?

    Thanks

    Don't know what you mean by +2???? All my top off water goes through kalk unless it is mixing. I use it on top of a Ca reactor to keep my Ca around 450.

    I believe it's kalk w/ magnesium/strontium added. I don't know anyone that uses it, looks too expensive to me, much cheaper to just use regular kalk and get some bulk magnesium supplements. Strontium generally is replaced with regular water changes AFAIK anyway.

    You can get a 4.5lb bucket of kalk for a dollar or two more than the price of 8 oz of the kalk+2.

    Then a gallon of magnesium supplement is another $10.

    Ah looks like DFS has better prices on it, $13 for about 1lb. Still 4.5lbs of kalk for $12 is still a much better deal even though you need to buy a separate magnesium supplement.
