The Aqua Dose Delivery System 1400 ml from J&L are the ones I use:



Added Kent Liquid Ca to all tanks this morning, as well as a bit of Aquarium Revolution pH and Alk Booster to the 37g, then began the kalk drips to see what would happen (kalk that is being used has been in the drip containers since a couple of days ago):

- 37g is precipitating a bit, but not nearly as much as the last time I dripped, and is still dripping
- 67g is not precipitating at all, and is still dripping
- 120g precipitated as badly as before, so I shut it down

Have to get another test kit to measure Ca in all tanks as I'm running out of titration solution

Brad,

What kind of drip system are you using? Aren't you concerned that the kalk doesn't have a chance to mix well with your RO water before it goes into your drip container then into your tank?

Danny,

What Ca test kit are you using? I use what is locally available which is the Hagen kit. I shake each solution bottle a bit before using, and I especially mix the second solution for the full 5 seconds that the kit recommends.
