The only way the kalk will help with the algae, is to allow for a smaller use of co2 in the co2 reactor, as the kalk will take up some of the load. It will also help in the removal of some phosphate.
I sometimes wonder if the RDP light cycle is all its cracked up to be. I never see any difference running my scrubber lights on RDP, which I do however. I do try to get my reactor effluent to drip as close to the scrubber feed pump as possible. As mentioned, nothing removes excess co2 like algae. Could one not run the effluent through a refugium first?
Also, I have decided to leave my co2 reactor running and just waiting on another Maxi Jet ph to arrive, to start my kalk reactor up as well.
