I ended up ordering 25 of the 10 micron socks online so that I can replace them often. I diluted 5ml of LC into 1L of RO/DI water. I am using a dosing pump to add 6ml every hour, 24hrs /day. 1L of solution should last me 5 days.

I have no idea if its enough (probably not) but I gotta start somewhere.

I was aware of the alkalinity dropping with the use of LC. This is used in a fish system its a non issue.

Watch pH.

Well, I was thinking it would clog up after 50 gallons too, but a couple of these guys said as long as you used a big sock like 4x18" that it can be used for several hours. I ordered some of the 1 micron socks and will give it a go too.
