Carbo and calcium and kalk?

[JSpen]

so I’m thinking about using tropic Marin’s carbo calcium. I have a highly dominant sps tank and sps frag tank. I’ve heard that the carbo calcium and kalk are a great combo. I’m curious if anyone else is using this combo and why? Thanks all!

The reason why people are using not limewater alone is quite simple: for SPS stuffed tanks you would need more of the ( only little concentrated) limewater than your tank is evaporating each day. So you can’t always adapt your tanks consumption alone with limewater


I personally am a fan of using only one method instead of combining two as it is less confusing and less maintenance work to do. So why not only dosing? Or only Ca reactor ?

All-In-Ones like CarboCalcium and others are not as flexible as 2-part dosing (ca and Alk can’t be dosed separately) and are also more expensive. So why should you choose this? Maybe if you are running a Nano..... not for a bigger tank

So the carbo calcium is more of a pick up for where the kalk falls off?

It is an all-in-one for raising both together. Ca and Alk
