Dosing Kalc
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		I am considering dosing kalc to my 90 gallon system.  My current configuration is as follows: 
 
My RO/DI water feeds a 4 or 5 gallon plastic tub on a shelf over my sump.   I have a 1/4 line running from an air valve, mounted about 1" from the bottom of the tub, which gravity feeds a float valve in the sump to keep a constant water level.    
 
What is the simplest method of dosing Kalc to this setup?    Shall I mix kalc and add it directly to the fresh water tub?    If I did, I would be constantly replacing evaporated water with kalc water.   Would that be over dosing?    
 
I considered picking up a TLF kalc reactor and running it directly into the sump, but I need to maintain a constant level in the sump for my skimmer which would be difficult to do with the kalc reactor and my ATO system.  Alternatively, I could hook up the reactor to an alternate fresh water source and dose into the 4 gallon ATO tub periodically.... 
 
Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated!
