here is realy good tread anyone new should read and realy read it until you 100% understand how calcium alkalinity work with each other in balance

good read!

keep use update
I have not include the link I was talking on the calcim balance on the previous tread sorry here it is read it before to do any dosage http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/nov2002/chem.htm

yes brad you are right that why I give this link and tell to study this well before to do it and tell him to not test only when he know wath he do

it dosnt realy matter if you have a kalk reactore or not as long as you use fresh kalk and dont cross the PH warning maybe you have and that why I said you NEED a ph meter to do it

if people dont do it the same way I said you will have problem
before to use any methode you need to read the instruction if one dont and have problem it's not the fault of the product
