Chem Master is littlesilvermax right?

I originally used kalk dripping, but I didn't have the time every evening to properly implement it. Levels went outa whack, and had to correct it with two part.

I've been using two part ever since. Got my calcium from littlesilvermax (good transaction by the way, recommend buying from him). I'll never go back. Was easy to make up the DIY two part, and 3 tablespoons in the sump each evening and that's it. Much easier than mixing kalk, waiting an hour for it to dissipate and then dripping it into the tank overnight.

It's cheap, and when I get a dual channel dosing pump setup this summer, I think it'll still be cheaper than a high quality calcium reactor, and easier to set up and tune.

Do you dissolve the Aragamilk in fresh water first? Adding it to salt water has been shown to actually lower calcium an carbonate levels. Just an aquarium industry cash grab IMO.

I just use purple up, 1 cap every other day keeps my levels at 410.

For the LR users - how often do you dose generally? I still suck at testing, so it doesn't really tell me much and I've heard it really can't be overdosed, however - any experiences to put my lil mind at ease?

Yup, it's Littlesilvermax, the ChemMaster I referred to. I bought lot of Supplement from. Good service and good product. Not much proble and always end up with a smiling Tank

I just Kalk. It seems to work good enough. I make sure and use every last bit of evaporation water for kalk though.
