well your wrong.. that will teach you for having a opinion
the only things I didn't monitor was Mg as I didn;t have a Mg test kit untill I started suspecting it as part of the problem. my PH was 8.1 steady.. same as it is now.. so that theory was no good also.
one thing I have notices sence I stoped using kalk is the growth or real fine short turf algae.. it is a maroon color and looks quite nice... still it is there..

yup I agree it is cheep and they use something else to balance there alkalinity, a Ca reactor maintains the alkalinity and other desolved minerals in a tank and at the same time provides a good enuf level of Ca. in my opinion using both is the best way to go.
Delphinus, Unless Darren used to be a girl, then no it was a guy
it was Darren that said it to me when I was concidering using dolomite for a substrate.. and I am now glad I took that bit of advice and threw the dolomite on the Lawn.. whare it belongs and not in my tank.
