Default Kalk stirrer online tonight

Hi,

I, too, use both kalk and calcium reactor. However, I don't have a kalkreactor. I just add a little bit of kalk to my top off (1/2 tblspoon per 5 gallons). It brings the pH high enough for the phosphates to precipitate and I allow the precipitate to settle before dripping the clear liquid in to the tank. It helps control phosphates and other nasties in my tank, but I don't add so much kalk that it disturbs the Ca/alk balance in my tank.

- Victor.
