Haha, Saw? I don't drip the kalk. It just goes in with the top off water when the pump turns on. I don't check my Alk too often. It had been in the low end I think before I started using the reef supplements (Reef Builder and Aragamight). But I believe it should be fine now though I don't test it. The acros have colored up and started to grow again so I assume they are happy.

Saw are you having alot of problems with your alk in the tank. The reason that Im asking is i was pretty much running kalk and RO/DI thur a float switch like you but not thur a reactor when your reactor is at a constant drip right or like 1-2 drips per second. Are you getting alot of high ALk readings. Where I am getting alot from the float switch topping off the sump

Do you have a lot of coraline in the tank?
wheat is your demand for CAL and ALk?

It seems like that my alk is sitting at 9.8-10.4 as of now I need to dose 2 gallons of water with 1/2 pickling lime and drip 1drip every 2 seconds to keep it up and that is every to 2 days that i do this
